Rise Against - Prayer of the Refuge

  Rise Against - Prayer of the Refuge

Warm yourself by the fire son and the morning will come soon
I'll tell you stories of a better time in a place that we once knew
Before we packed our bags and left all this behind us in the dust
We had a place that we could call home and a life no one could touch

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down
Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down, down

We are the angry and the desperate, the hungry and the cold
We are the ones who kept quiet and always did what we were told
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm in the safety of your home
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you've known

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down
Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down, down

So open your eyes child, let's be on our way
Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way
Keep quiet no longer, we'll sing through the day
Of the lives that we lost, and the lives we've reclaimed
[Down]

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down
Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down, down

Don't hold me up [I don't need your help, I stand my ground]
Don't hold me up [I don't need your help]
No! No! No!
Don't hold me up [I don't need your help, I stand my ground]
Don't let me down, down, down, down, down
