Title: Architects

Artist: Rise Against

Are there no fighters left here any more

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

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 f**k's gonna take their place

Yeah' will it be the cynic

The critics galore

You say "how pathetic"' 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'll stand behind these words
