Rise Against
Sooner or Later
[Verse 1]
Here, we've burned the boats to ashes after beaching on the shore
Looked back across the ocean and said, "We're never going home"
But our shadows killed the flowers, our footsteps spoiled the land
It seems we're always in the way no matter where we choose to stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Can we just wait 'til this is over
If we know that our precious time is running out?
[Chorus]
Sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later, we all have to go home
Sooner or later, there's a time to face the music, face the sound
Sooner or later, we will have to go home
[Verse 2]
Now, from the gods, we all seek favor with every sacrificial lamb
But the bodies all pile higher, and the blood just stains our hands
And soon, you'll feel the panic in your breath and in your veins
When you know there's no tomorrow, and you've realized too late
[Pre-Chorus]
And still, we wait
While our precious time is running out
[Chorus]
Sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later, we all have to go home
Sooner or later, there's a time to face the music, face the sound
Sooner or later, we will have to go
Our precious time is running out!
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Are we just passengers so sick of waitin' for this final destination?
And where we all will end up, I would die to know, die to know that place
[Chorus]
Sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later, we all have to go home
Sooner or later comes a time when we'll have nowhere left to run
Sooner or later, we will have to go home
