Rise Against A Gentleman's Coup
The pain, disorder
A cataclysmic dawn
We trusted but something has gone wrong
We bought in
But woke to find it gone
Impact in 5, 4, 3, 2
Brace
For fallout
The radiation creeps
On cats' feet
We scatter in the streets
She asks me "Do you think it's safe to breathe?"
It doesn't look that way to me
We stormed the gates
And raised new flags
But it's just the same old story
We seized the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
Afraid, we cower
To interests not our own
The power to free or to control
We let it skip through
Our fingers to the bone
Watch as the bodies wash ashore
Whoah...
Nobody lives here anymore
We stormed the gates
And raised new flags
But it's just the same old story
We seized the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall?
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long, how... ?
We stormed the gates
And raised new flags
But it's just the same old story
We seized the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
