Survivor Guilt



Rise Against



("what are you talking about? america isn't going to be destroyed"

"never? rome was destroyed, greece was destroyed, persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? how much longer do you really think your own country will last? forever?")



block the entrances, close the doors

seal the exits cuz this is war



all gave some, some gave all

but for what i wanna know



carry on, don't mind me

all i gave was everything

and yet you ask me for more

fought your fight

bought your light

in return i lost my life

what purpose does this serve?



a fallen figure

burn the heart

a family all but torn apart



and i fought with courage to preserve

not my way of life but yours



carry on, don't mind me

all i gave was everything

and yet you ask me for more

fought your fight

bought your light

in return i lost my life

what purpose does this serve?



the campers reaching battered stones

with words that turn the cameras off

but once it meant, just fuck them up

cuz freedom isnt free



they send our daughters and our sons

deserts under burning sons

sacrificial slaughtering

to fill the pockets of the weak



i'm not official in the way

are we so easily deceived?

they carry on



("you're a shameful opportunist! what you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

"you have it backwards. it's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. i know")



don't carry on

just walk away

how many more sent to their graves

in this lasting war?



i fought your fight

bought your light

in return i lost my life

what purpose does this serve?

what purpose did i serve?
