Rise Against - The Great Die-Off [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

There’s a fire on the borders and
It’s burning down the walls you built high
There’s a steady stream of anger and
It’s spilling from the coasts, a tidal wave

And the words say we reap what we sow
To where I bury you I’ll build my home
In line to reclaim
But we’re sick of the wait

We want it all and we want it now
Tonight I watched your fires burn out
The cold dead hands we pried
These guns from are yours

We want it all and we want it now
A tide is coming to drown you out
We make ourselves at home
While your body’s still warm

Tradition tethers us to rituals and
Are we all just clocks on wrong times?
And something triggers each
And every time I hear you say
“God bless this place”

But your numbers are dwindling now
Though endangered we’ll still hunt you down
With heads on a stake
Long may you reign

We want it all and we want it now
Tonight I watched your fires burn out
The cold dead hands we pried
These guns from are yours

We want it all and we want it now
A tide is coming to drown you out
We make ourselves at home
While your body’s still warm

There’s a fire on the borders and
It’s burning down the walls you built high
There’s a steady stream of anger and
It’s spilling from the coasts, a tidal wave

We want the motherfucking world and we want it now
Tonight I watched your fires burn out
The cold dead hands we pried
These guns from are yours

No I don’t wanna wait
I know a better way
So step aside come on
Or better yet just go away
Our chance has finally come
There might not be another one

Now
No we’re not gonna wait
We want it now
We’re dousing the flames
We want it now
