RISE AGAINST LYRICS - Intro / Chamber The Cartridge

"Intro / Chamber The Cartridge"



(This is Noyes)



Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris

In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight

Down through the scrapers of the sky past neon words glowing all night

Echoes my name between each car, "Are you happy where you are?"



Blind to this impending fate

We let the world carry our weight

Its back breaks with every mile

But we all live in denial



Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?

Is it too late to reverse what we've become?

A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time

What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine



Let's go!



And so we carry on each day as if our lives are not so grey

While every breath that we take, we only suffocate

Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed

On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality



I'm blind to this impending fate

They let the world carry their weight

Its back breaks with every mile

But they all live in denial



Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?

Is it too late to reverse what we've become?

A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time

What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine



Save us from what we have become tonight

Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right



Save us from what we have become tonight

Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right



Save us from what we have become tonight

Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right



Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?

Is it too late to reverse what we've become?

A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time

What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine!
