The Violence Lyrics - Rise Against

Dancing on the crumbling precipices 

The rocks are coming loose just at the edge 

Are we laughing? 

Are we crying? 

Are we drowning? 

Are we dead? 

Or is it all a dream? 

The bombs are getting closer everyday 

"That could never happen here" we used to say 

Has this war come to our doorstep? 

Has this moment finally come? 

Or is it all a dream?

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

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

Is the violence in our nature 

Just the image of our maker? 

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

To become something greater, 

Than the violence in our nature 

Are we not good, good enough? 

Or is it all a dream? 

To a predetermined fate are we condemned? 

Or maybe we're book without an end? 

We're not stories, we're not actors, 

We're awake and in control 

And this is not a dream. 

So can we break this mold 

And set in motion something new? 

Forgetting what we know 

An evolution overdue. 

Fight the current, 

Pull the ripcord, 

Get away! 

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

Is the violence in our nature 

Just the image of our maker? 

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

To become something greater, 

Than the violence in our nature 

Are we not good, good enough? 

Well-trodden paths are all we take, 

We need a storm, 

Let's pray for rain now 

To wash these roads away 

Let's get off track and wander far 

Same roads lead to same destinations 

Follow nothing but your heart 

We're talking in our sleep 

And sleeping through our lives 

And we dream of the places where we never die 

We step from the shadows 

And into the light 

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

Is the violence in our nature 

Just the image of our maker? 

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

To become something greater, 

Than the violence in our nature 

Are we not good enough? 

Are we not brave enough? 

Are we not good, good enough? 

Or was it all a dream?
