Lyrics Dirt and Roses - Rise Against
The
city
grieves,
like
widows
clasping
folded
flags
against
their
hearts.
Raindrops
feel
like
dirt
and
roses
on
black
coffins
in
the
dark.
Not
yet
corpses,
still
we
rot
Oblivious
to
our
decay.
Drinking
poison
drop
by
drop,
destined
to
die...
Unless
we
save
our
lives,
from
the
coming
dawn,
that
seeks
to
drown
us
in
the
flames...
But
if
we
sell
our
soul,
for
the
chance
of
gold,
then
we'll
rue
each
passing
day!
I
swore
this
place
was
once
was
alive,
the
streets
all
pulse
like
living
veins,
heart
point
beating
crossed
with
blood,
the
buildings
breathe
each
time
they
sway.
Time
of
dead,
punctuated
by
the
bells,
the
sky
turned
red,
then
came
the
rain!
Come
on
lets
save
our
lives,
from
the
coming
dawn,
that
seeks
to
drown
us
in
the
flames...
But
if
we
sell
our
soul,
for
the
chance
of
gold,
then
we'll
roo
each
passing
day!
They
drown,
they'll
crush
you
from
the
top
I'd
rather
die,
I
would
rather
chase
them
down
These
worlds
are
crashing
forward,
they
try
to
set
alight.
Build
our
true
fates
while
they
drown.
Like
fallen
soldiers
on
these
fields
we
spend
our
lives
fighting
truth
upon
the
wheels...
I
swear
we
tried,
I
gave
up
on
this
god
forsaken
sight,
and
felt
it
all
pass
by!
Come
on
lets
save
our
lives,
from
the
coming
dawn,
that
seeks
to
drown
us
in
the
flames...
But
if
we
sell
our
soul,
for
the
chance
of
gold,
then
we'll
roo
each
passing
day!
So
save
our,
(save
our
lives)
our
lives
it's
coming
clear,
yeah
it's
been
coming
clear,
(coming
clear)
to
me...
We'll
never
sell
our
soul
(sell
our
soul)
for
the
chance
of
gold
And
we'll
live
each
passing
day...
