RISE AGAINST - Architects lyrics

rate me

re there no fighters left here any more?

Are we the generation we've been waiting for?

Or are we simply burning

Waiting to be saved?

Our heroes our icons

Have mellowed with age

Following rules

Left to ones disobeyed

Are now being led

When they used to lead the way

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?

(That you stood by before)

Are you up and on the front lines?

Or at home keeping score?

Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?

(The bricks that seal your fate)

Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

GO!

Laying out the blueprints

That pour down a base

Concrete solutions to slow our decay

But when they are gone, who the fuck's gonna take their place?

Yeah, we're limping acidic

The critic's galore

You say apathetic, passed out on the floor

The trustee can visit

Who collectively ignored

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?

(That you stood by before)

Are you up and on the front lines?

Or at home keeping score?

Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?

(The bricks that seal your fate)

Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Don't you remember when you were young?

And you wanted to set the world on fire?

Somewhere deep down, I know you don't (HEY HEY HEY HEY)

And all you remember when we were young

How we wanted to set the world on fire

Because I still am and I still do

Make no mistake we are not afraid

To bear the burden of repeating

What they're thinking anyway

LET'S RAISE THE STAKES

On the bet we made

Let's decide to be the architects, the masters of our fate

Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before

(We stood by before)

And now to everything we've seen here maybe even more

And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first

(We were not the first)

Unapologetically we're stand behind these words.
