Rise Against The Violence song lyrics
Rise Against The Violence song lyrics
Dancing on the crumbling precipices
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge
Are we laughing?
Are we crying?
Are we drowning?
Are we dead?
Or is it all a dream?
The bombs are getting closer everyday
"That could never happen here" we used to say
Has this war come to our doorstep?
Has this moment finally come?
Or is it all a dream?
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
Is the violence in our nature
Just the image of our maker?
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
To become something greater,
Than the violence in our nature
Are we not good, good enough?
Or is it all a dream?
To a predetermined fate are we condemned?
Or maybe we're book without an end?
We're not stories, we're not actors,
We're awake and in control
And this is not a dream.
So can we break this mold
And set in motion something new?
Forgetting what we know
An evolution overdue.
Fight the current,
Pull the ripcord,
Get away!
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
Is the violence in our nature
Just the image of our maker?
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
To become something greater,
Than the violence in our nature
Are we not good, good enough?
Well-trodden paths are all we take,
We need a storm,
Let's pray for rain now
To wash these roads away
Let's get off track and wander far
Same roads lead to same destinations
Follow nothing but your heart
We're talking in our sleep
And sleeping through our lives
And we dream of the places where we never die
We step from the shadows
And into the light
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
Is the violence in our nature
Just the image of our maker?
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
To become something greater,
Than the violence in our nature
Are we not good enough?
Are we not brave enough?
Are we not good, good enough?
Or was it all a dream?
