The Strength To Go On
Rise Against

Welcome home, while away

They have tampered with the locks

And your things they rearranged


We propose a better way

Said the note they left behind

In their wake of disarray, you fell in place


Don't fall asleep, they'll find us here

I know a place to disappear

As a voice proclaimed


What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on


Let us cry, let us be

Let us open up our hearts

Without fear of anything


Faith alone is all we need

To traverse this burning bridge

Now before it gets too late


You claim it's fine

But the heart reveals what smiles betray

Your sad, sad eyes gave you away

But don't you know?


What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on


Our shoulders bear an awful weight

But still we trudge on just the same

Our colors run then leave a stain

They blacken our once honest name


But how can we argue, tell me?

Over the fury and the fire

How many times can we tell you


That we are not like you, we see right through

The poor disguise that fails to fool

The wary eye that's trained on you


What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on


What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on

Yeah, we don't have the strength to go on
