To Them These Streets Belong

Rise Against · Siren Song Of The Counter Culture [2004]

So look in my eyes

What will you leave behind once you've gone?

(So precious)

You got what you came for

Now I think it's time to move on

(When will you see)

But these ghosts come alive

Like water and wine and walk through these streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

To them these streets belong



My atonement lasts the best part of eternity

Ran out of hands to count the sin that breeds inside of me

Not this hate but the loneliness has left me here into this mess of



My hands are soaking in the blood of angels

On broken wings they collapse

Will I see the break of day

Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell

All those lost halos washed away



Head hung from shame we bear a weight that brings me to a crawl

These years of longing tell decades of unanswered calls

For a change, 'cause everyday we slip and fall

Kicked while we're down, our fists clench into ball



My hands are soaking in the blood of angels

On broken wings they collapse

Will I see the break of day

Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell

All these lost halos wash away



So look in my eyes

What will you leave behind once you've gone?

(So precious)

You got what you came for

Now I think its time to move on

(Whoa whoa yeah)

But these ghosts come alive

Like water and wine and walk through these streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

To them these streets belong



So look in my eyes,

What will you leave behind once you've gone?

You got what you came for

Now I think its time to move on

But these ghosts come alive

Like water and wine and walk through these streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

To them these streets belong
