Rise Against- Architects Lyrics

Rise Against- Architects Lyrics

Are there no fighters left here anymore?
Are we the generation we`ve been waiting for?
Or are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?

Our heroes, our icons have mellowed with age.
Following rules that they once disobeyed.
They`re now being take when they used to lead the way

Do you even trust in all the things that you stood by before?

(That you stood by before.)
Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you wish to be the level of the bricks that seal your fate?
(Bricks that seal your fate.)
Would you rather be the designer of what we might create?

(Go!)

They set out the blueprints,
They poured down a base
Concrete solutions to slacken our decay.
But when they are gone
Who the fuck`s gonna take their place?

Yeah, will it be the cynic, the critics galore?
They say I`m pathetic, face downward on the floor.
This trustee complacent we`ll collectively ignore.

Do you even trust in all the things that you stood by before?
(That you stood by before.)
Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you wish to be the level of the bricks that seal your fate?
(Bricks that seal your fate.)
Would you rather be the designer of what we might create?

Don`t you think when you were young, and you wanted to set the existence on fire?
Somewhere deep down, I love you do.
And don`t you think when we were young, and we wanted to set the existence on fire?
`Cause I however am, and I even do.

Make no mistake, we`re not afraid
To hold the essence 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 yet trust in all the things that we stood by before.
(That we stood by before.)
I know, to everything we`ve seen here, maybe even more.
I know we`re not the only ones and we were not the first.
(We were not the first.)
And unapologetically we stand behind each word.
