To Them These Streets Belong Songtext
von Rise Against

So look in my eyes
What will you leave behind once you′ve gone?
(So precious)
You got what you came for
Now I think it's time to move on
(When will you stay?)
But these ghosts come alive
Like water and wine
Walk through these streets
Singing songs and carrying signs
To them these streets belong

My atonement lasts the best part of eternity
Ran out of hands to count the sin
That breeds inside of me
Not this hate but the loneliness
Has left me here into this mess of


My hands are soaking in the blood of angels
On broken wings they collapse
Will I see the break of day?
Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell
All these lost halos wash away

Head hung from shame we bear a weight
That brings me to a crawl
These years of longing tell decades
Of unanswered calls
For a change, ′cause everyday we slip and fall
Kicked while we're down, our fists clench into ball

My hands are soaking in the blood of angels
On broken wings they collapse
Will I see the break of day
Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell
All these lost halos wash away


So look in my eyes
What will you leave behind once you've gone?
(So precious)
You got what you came for
Now I think it′s time to move on
(When will you stay?)
But these ghosts come alive
Like water and wine
Walk through these streets
Singing songs and carrying signs
To them these streets belong

So look in my eyes
What will you leave behind once you′ve gone?
You got what you came for
Now I think it's time to move on
But these ghosts come alive
Like water and wine
Walk through these streets
Singing songs and carrying signs
To them these streets belong
