Are there no fighters left here anymore?
Are we the generation we’ve been waiting for?
Or are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?
Our heroes, our icons have mellowed with age
Following rules that they once disobeyed
They’re now being led when they used to lead the way
Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? (That you stood by before)
I hope they’re on the front lines or at home keeping score
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate)
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
Go!
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
And when they are gone who the fuck’s gonna take their place?
Yeah, will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
They say how pathetic passed out on the floor
The trusty complicit who collectively ignore
Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? (That you stood by before)
I hope they’re on the front lines or at home keeping score
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate)
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
Don’t you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the whole world on fire?
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
And don’t you remember when we were young
How we wanted to set the world on fire?
Because I still am and I still do (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Make no mistake, we are not afraid
To bear the burden of repeating of what we’re thinking anyway
Let’s raise the stakes on the bet we made
Let’s decide to be the architects, the masters of our fate
Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before (We stood by before)
And after everything we’ve seen here, maybe even more
I know we’re not the only ones and we were not the first (We were not the first)
And unapologetically we stand behind each word
