Sudden Life Songtext

von Rise Against

Floating in the clouds, giving up the fight.
A voice is calling out, I'm walking into the light.

We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast,
Feet that barely even touched the ground.
We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world,
The fury and the sunlight.

A sun flickered, like a television set,
Bright flashes of a warning sign,
Vapid shadows in a world gone static,
We're rolling away line by the fading line.
Under water for years we were fine, till we started to swim, then drown.
The current takes us, now we're walking into the light.

Are you dying all your life?
Broken, beaten and tired of...
You wanted to learn but don't know how.
Diagnosis: Sudden life!
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light.

Woke up falling on a wave of golden sound,
Tunnel vision and a great beyond.
Heart beating like a rhythm slowing down,
Now it's gone, I let go of a soul.
A flat line and I'm closing down,
Whisper a warm farewell, the flames all beckon me, as we're walking into the light.

Are you dying all your life?
Broken, beaten, tired of...
You wanted to learn but don't know how.
Diagnosis: Sudden life!
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light.

Don't suppose that you know the way.
Don't suppose that your care.
I see lights up ahead and hear cries of angels ringing in my ears.
But you know that, had you a choice, you would go back and do it again.
We all have unfinished business to tend.

So, no I won't go gentle,
Into the light; good night.
You can keep your candle, I'm walking away from the light,
Yeah, I'm walking away from the light.
I'm walking away from the light.
I'm walking away from the light.
I'm walking away from the light.

Diagnosis: Sudden life!
I woke up my heart racing, I'm
At a loss explaining why.
Are you dying all your life?
Now put your darkest days behind,
Let life flash right before your eyes
And for very the first time, it feels like I'm walking away from the light.
