Rise Against - Intro/Chamber the Cartridge (The Sufferer & the Witness) lyrics
[Rise Against - Intro/Chamber the Cartridge The Sufferer & the Witness lyrics]
Down beyond these city streets through
Gutters filled with black debris
In alleys void of any light where
Nameless things live out of sight
Down through the scrapers of the sky
Past neon words glowing all night
Echoes my name between each car
"Are you happy where you are?"
Blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry our weight
It's back breaks with every mile
But we all live in denial
Can we be saved
Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours
And yours is mine
Let's go!
And so we carry on each day as
If our lives are not so grey
While every breath that we take
We only suffocate
Brush past a myriad of scenes
A homeless vet crashed
On Wall Street, a single mom of three
A TV personality
I'm blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry their weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But they all live in denial
Can we be saved
Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours
And yours is mine
Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust
No sense of wrong or right
Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust
No sense of wrong or right
Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust
No sense of wrong or right
Can we be saved
Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours
And yours is mine
Gutters filled with black debris
In alleys void of any light where
Nameless things live out of sight
Down through the scrapers of the sky
Past neon words glowing all night
Echoes my name between each car
"Are you happy where you are?"
Blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry our weight
It's back breaks with every mile
But we all live in denial
Can we be saved
Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours
And yours is mine
Let's go!
And so we carry on each day as
If our lives are not so grey
While every breath that we take
We only suffocate
Brush past a myriad of scenes
A homeless vet crashed
On Wall Street, a single mom of three
A TV personality
I'm blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry their weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But they all live in denial
Can we be saved
Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours
And yours is mine
Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust
No sense of wrong or right
Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust
No sense of wrong or right
Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust
No sense of wrong or right
Can we be saved
Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours
And yours is mine
