Dirt and Roses
Rise Against

This city grieves like widows clasping folded flags against their hearts

Raindrops spill like dirt and roses on black coffins in the dark

Not yet corpses, still we rot, oblivious to our decay

Drinking poison, drop by drop, descend to dark

Unless we save our lives

From the coming tide

That seeks to drown us in its waves

But if we sell our soul

For the chance of gold

Then we'll rue each passing day

And I swear this place once was alive

The streets all pulsed like living veins

Heart was beating cars with blood

The buildings breathe each time they sway

Time of death

Punctuated by the bells

The sky turned red

Then came the rain

Come on let's save our lives

From the coming tide

That seeks to drown us in its waves

But if we sell our soul

For the chance of gold

Then we'll rue each passing day.

They drown, they'll crush you from the top

I'd rather die,

I would rather chase them down

These worlds are crashing forward,

They try to set alight

Build our true fates while they drown

Like fallen soldiers on these fields

We spared our lives

Bodies holed up on the wheels

I swear we tried

I gave up on this godforsaken sight,

And felt it all pass by.

Come on let's save our lives

From the coming tide

That seeks to drown us in its waves

But if we sell our soul

for the chance of gold

then we'll rue each passing day.

So save our

(Save our lives)

Our lives,

it's coming clear,

Yeah it's been coming clear

(Coming clear)

To me...

We'll never sell our soul

For the chance of gold

And we'll live each passing day
