Lyrical Excerpts

Drones (Rise Against) - "Deep inside these burning buildings voices die to be heard; years we spent teaching a lesson we ourselves had never learned. And if strength is born from heartbreak, then mountains I could move, and if walls could speak, I'd pray that they would tell me what to do."

Raise A Little Hell (Trooper) - "If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it!"

Be Somebody (Thousand Foot Krutch) - "And we’re all see-through, just like glass - and we can shatter just as fast. That light’s been burned out for a while, I still see it every time I pass. It was lost in the corners of my mind, behind a box of reasons why; I never doubted it was there, it just took a little time to find."

Imagine (John Lennon) - "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one."

Survive (Rise Against) - "Life for you's been less than kind, so take a number and stand in line. We've all been sorry we've all been hurt, but how we survive is what makes us who we are."

Schism (Anthrax) - "If we were blind and had no choice, would we hate each other by the tone of our voice?"

The Good Left Undone (Rise Against) - "All because of you I believe in angels; not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos. The kind that bring you home when home becomes a strange place."
