Rise Against - Make It Stop (September's Children)

Lyrics Video Rise Against - Make It Stop (September's Children)

Woah, woah.

Bang bang go the coffin nails

Like a breath exhaled,

Then gone forever.

It seems just like yesterday

How did i miss the red flags raise?

Think back to the days we laughed

We braved these bitter storms together

Brought to his knees he cried,

But on his feet he died.

What god would damn a heart?

And what god drove us apart?

What god could...

Make it stop

Let this end.

Eighteen years pushed to the ledge.

It's come to this,

A weightless step.

On the way down singing,

Woah, woah.

Bang bang from the closet walls,

The schoolhouse halls,

The shotgun's loaded.

Push me and i'll push back.

I'm done asking, i demand.

From a nation under god,

I feel it's love like a cattle prod.

Born free, but still they hate.

Born me, i can't change.

It's always darkest just before the dawn.

So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong.

Make it stop.

Let this end,

Eighteen years pushed to the ledge.

It's come to this,

A weightless step.

On the way down singing,

Woah, woah.

The cold river washed him away,

But how could we forget.

The gatherings hold candles

But not their tongues

Too much blood has flown from the wrists,

Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss.

Who will rise to stop the blood?

We're calling for,

Insisting on, a different beat, yeah.

A brand new song.

Make this stop

Make this end

This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin

But proud I stand of who I am

I plan go on living
