Rise Against – The Strength To Go On Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 52 Second

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

Dont fall asleep, theyll 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 dont have the strength to go on
Til we dont 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
Now before it gets too late

You claim its fine
But the heart reveals what smiles betray
Your sad, sad eyes gave you away
But dont 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 dont have the strength to go on
Til we dont 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 thats 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 dont have the strength to go on
Til we dont 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 dont have the strength to go on
Til we dont have the strength to go on
Yeah, we dont have the strength to go on
