Rise Against - Endgame Lyrics
On that day, they'll tell youThat life hummed on with no clueThe warning signs were allDismissed or shouted downSo it goesThe kings all failed to tell usThe madmen failed to sell usOn what would then becomeThe only life we knowWere they burning signal firesTo guide us to the fields?Or building funeral pyres?The outcome of a final appealThe city lines are downThe kerosene's run outThe fracturing of all we relied uponLets shed this unclean skinAnd start to feel againBecause all the shouldersOn which to cry are goneThe paranoia gripped usThe rain turned engines to rustThe panic set in like a cancer to our heartsSpreading throughWe bet on finite geniusOr prayed for gods to save usBut there was no antidoteDisease tore us apartWe left bodies in the fieldsSo numb that we forgot how to feelThe city lines are downThe kerosene's run outThe fracturing of all we relied uponLets shed this unclean skinAnd start to feel againBecause all the shouldersOn which to cry are goneHe looked at the fieldsAnd then his hands,"All I need is what I have."Then shed a tear of happinessOh...She watched the world crumble away:"Is this the end of yesterday?""Lord, I hope so" is all he saidGone are the old guardsGone are the cold, cold warsWeightless we go forthOn wings of amnestyThe city lines are downThe kerosene's run outThe fracturing of allWe relied uponLets shed this unclean skinAnd start to feel againThere are no shouldersShoulders to cry on nowNo moreNo moreThe weight that we once felt is gone
