Architects - Rise Against

Are 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?
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?
Would you rather be the architect
Of what we might create?

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?
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?
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 are you remember when we were young?
How 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 architects
The masters of our fate

Yeah, we still believe in all the things that 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
Unapologetically we're stand behind these words
