"If I held my ground, would you ask me to change?" In my opinion, greatest quote ever. In every song, there's at least one line that is truly powerful lyrics. Rise Against have the greatest lyrics in their songs I've ever heard.

Were losing daylight but I can't work any faster. Under the veil of dust we go on Don't close your eyes. What if it all disappears in the shadows? Now reach for the stars If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain We drink the air but its still not the same These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame and I know, I know The waters come but the fire still rages on here The men all shrugged their shoulders and left We sleep so sound in rooms just up the stairs Will you save us like you saved them? If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain We drink the air but its so not the same These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame and I know, I know You've bled me dry but I'm still breathing I swear I'm sucking dry the sky And you won't ever find us kneeling Or swallowing your lies If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain We drink the air but its so not the same These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame, and I know, I know This drought bleeds on, this drought bleeds on
