Torches (demo) Songtext
von Rise Against

On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door
On windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore
The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day
But I′m still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

What if my hand could block the Sun? (Oh-oh-oh)
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks (oh-oh)
Would that be time enough?

I can′t remember exactly when this longing began
But I know it was not before the day you touched my hand
Laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

What if my hands could block the Sun? (Oh-oh-oh)
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks (oh-oh)
Would that be time enough?


So put your hands where I can see them
And shut your mouth, I know who you are
In a world void of heart or feeling
I know that we are the torches in the dark

Let′s burn this down, let′s make this count
Let's fight for marching on
Was it all they left?

Let′s burn this down, let's make this count
Let′s fight this one-horse town
Let's say once enough

The angels dance like feathers float
They′re here to see and to be seen
The clock strikes two, the music slows
And each one slowly dons their wings
And once outside they all pair off
And hand in hand they leave
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

What if my hands could block the Sun? (Oh-oh-oh)
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks (oh-oh)
Would that be time enough?

Will we ever wake up?
