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
