Rise Against - Long Forgotten Sons lyrics

Far from home on a road unknown Where the vultures circle on winds that blow From northern skies that haunt these waking moments On shadows cast by the mountain range On calloused soles we find our way Through desperate eyes, we long for the horizon While this sun is rising We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone We are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you've undone When cries for help go unanswered And signal fires just burn and burn We wonder if we're waiting here for nothing 'Cause our lips are sewn our ears are filled With the constant drone of the unfulfilled But we'll never fall if we stand for something We stand for something We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone We are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you've undone Don't fall, I see lights in the distance They're not far away Stand up because the sky is turning gray There's hope in these footsteps of persistence So don't go astray These lights get closer everyday We are the long forgotten sons Yeah, we are the long forgotten sons We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone We are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you've undone What you've undone (What happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go…)
