A Gentlemen's Coup
Rise Against

The pain, disorder, a cataclysmic dawn

We trusted but something has gone wrong

We bought it but woke to find it gone

And have to 5, 4, 3, 2


The place before 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 storm the gates, raise the flags

Just the same old story

We seize the throne, subjugate

We should have burned it to the ground


Storm the gates, raise the flags

Seize the throne, subjugate

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

Nobody lives here anymore


We storm the gates, raise the flags

Just the same old story

We seize the throne, subjugate

We should have burned it to the ground


Storm the gates, raise the flags

Seize the throne, subjugate

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 storm the gates, raise the flags

Just the same old story

We seize the throne, subjugate

We should have burned it to the ground


Storm the gates, raise the flags

Seize the throne, subjugate

Some might say we've lost our way

But I believe we've not gone far enough
