Are there no fighters left here anymore?
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
Are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?
Our heroes are icons that mellow with age
Following rules that they once disobeyed
They're now being lead when they used to lead the way
Do you still believe in all the things
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
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
But when they are gone
Who the f*ck's gonna take their place?
Yeah, will it be the cynic, the critics galore
They say how pathetic passed out on the floor
This trustee complicit
Who collectively ignore
Do you still believe in all the things
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
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 world on fire?
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
And don't you remember when we were young
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
'Cause I still am, and I still do
Make no mistake, we are not afraid
To bear the burden of repeating
What they'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
And after everything we've seen
Maybe even more
I know we're not the only ones
And we were not the first
And unapologetically
We stand behind each word
