Collapse Lyrics - Appeal To Reason - Rise Against

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow 

And when our summers grow longer and winters won't snow 

From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills 

To the fight in the desert where progress stands still 

When we've lost our will 

That's how we'll know, this is not a test, we'll know 

This is cardiac arrest of a world too proud to admit our mistakes 

We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace 

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke 

When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes 

When your home on the range has been torn down and paved 

And the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave 

What more will it take?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

For us to know this is not a test, oh no 

This is cardiac arrest of a world too proud to admit our mistakes 

Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace 

This is a chance to set things straight 

To bend or break the rules back into place 

There is no middle ground, no compromise 

We've drawn the line 

With perfect aim, we stand back and throw 

Glass windows break and it's all about to blow 

Lights go out as we pass the torch again 

In hope that is stays lit, oh 

Neutrality means that you don't really care 

'Cause the struggle goes on even when you're not there 

Blind and unaware 

That's how we'll know, this is not a test, oh no 

This is cardiac arrest of a world too proud to admit our mistakes 

We're crashing into the ground as we all 

Yeah, we all, all fall from grace
