A Gentlemen’s Coup Lyrics by Rise Against

Endgame

2011

[Verse 1]
The pain, disorder, a cataclysmic dawn
We trusted but something has gone wrong
We bought it, but woke to find it gone
Impact in five, four, three, two
Brace for fallout, the radiation creeps
On cat's feet, we scatter in the streets
She asked me, "You think it's safe to breathe?"
It doesn't look that way to me
[Chorus]
We stormed the gates, raised new flags
It's just the same old story
We seized the throne, subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
(stormed the gates, raised new flags)
(siezed the throne, subjugate)
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
[Verse 2]
Afraid, we cower, to interests not our own
The power, to free or to control
We let it slip through our fingers to the floor
Watched as the bodies washed ashore
Nobody lives here anymore
[Chorus]
We stormed the gates, raised new flags
It's just the same old story
We seized the throne, subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
(stormed the gates, raised new flags)
(siezed the throne, subjugate)
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
[Bridge]
And how long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
How long, how long?
[Chorus]
We stormed the gates, raised new flags
It's just the same old story
We seized the throne, subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
(stormed the gates, raised new flags)
(siezed the throne, subjugate)
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
