Rise Against – Architects Lyrics

Architects Lyrics by Rise Against

Brand new song from the Rise Against with the single Architects

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 are icons of mellow with age
Following rules that they once disobeyed
Now being led when they used to lead the way
Do you still believe in all the things that you stood, fighting, for?
I hope they’re on the front line, or at home, keeping score.
And do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
Or would you rather be the architect
Of what we might create?
Laying out the blueprints,
They pour down a base
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
When they are gone
Who the fuck’s gonna take their place?
Yeah, will left be the cynic, the critic, the war?
And see how pathetic, they sat on the floor?
The trusting complicit who collectively ignores?

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood, fighting, for?
I hope they’re on the front line, or at home, keeping score.
And do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
Or 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 do.
And don’t you remember when we were young
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
‘Cause 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 architect-
The masters of our fate.
Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood, fighting, for
And after everything we’ve seen here,
Maybe even more.
And I know we’re not the only ones
And we were not before
But, unapologetically, we’ll stand behind these hopes (?)
