"Sooner Or Later" lyrics - RISE AGAINST
And we burned the boats to ashes
After beaching on the shore
Looked back across the ocean
And said we're never going home
Our shadows killed the flowers
Our footsteps spoiled the land
It seems we're always in the way
No matter where we choose to stand
[Pre-Chorus:]
Can we just wait until this is over
If we know our precious time is running out?
[Chorus:]
And sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
And sooner or later, we all have to go home
And sooner or later, there's a time to face the music, face the sound
And sooner or later we will have to go home
And from the gods we all seek favor
With every sacrificial lamb
But the bodies all pile higher
And the blood just stains our hands
And soon, you'll feel the panic
In your breath and in your veins
When you know there's no tomorrow
And you've realized too late
[Pre-Chorus:]
And still, we wait
While our precious time is running out
[Chorus:]
And sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
And sooner or later, we all have to go home
And sooner or later, there's a time to face the music, face the sound
So sooner or later, we will have to go...
Our precious time is running out!
[Bridge:]
Are we just passengers so sick of waiting
For this final destination?
And where we all will end up
I would die to know, die to know that place
[Chorus:]
And sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
And sooner or later, we all have to go home
And sooner or later comes a time when we'll have nowhere left to go
And sooner or later we will have to go home
