Chamber the Cartridge Songtext

von Rise Against

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 by names between each car, are you happy where you are?

Blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry our weight
Its 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 lifes 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
