midnight hands

Rise Against

Like a new day rising,
Like a calm before the storm.
Like fog lifting from valleys,
On the sleeping forest floor

Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off
To gaze upon the wreckage
That the midnight hands have wrought

And now I feel my temperature rising
my body explode
I feel like somebody's watching
like I'm not alone
I stopped, I vowed right then and said that

Whatever path you take
and wherever you might go
Whenever you decide you to leave
I'll follow, I'll follow

We face the crossroads never knowing what's in store
There's an angel on my shoulder
There's a devil in my door

She proclaimed tonight will be the greatest of our lives
I said 'don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning light'

I feel my temperature rising
my body explode
I feel like somebody's watching
like I'm not alone
I stopped, I vowed right then and said that

Whatever path you take
and wherever you might go
Whenever you decide you to leave
I'll follow, I'll follow

There in the clearing we gather close
Under the moon's pale light we lay out the tools
And you don't have to do this, and I forgive you if you don't
She just looked away and said 'I know'

Gripping the midnight hands
We dream of futures they would prevent
Gripped by the midnight hands

The line's crossed over, the dawn grows closer
Let's bit off too much
Let's jump with a blind trust
In water over our head

Whatever path you take
And wherever you might go
Whenever you decide to leave
I'll follow, I'll follow

I won't bet on the falls you take (the falls you take)
I won't let go if you started to stray
I'll be there until you don't wake up, yeah

I'll follow
I will follow
I will follow

Whatever path you take (I will follow)
Wherever you might go (I will follow)
Whenever you decide to leave (I will follow)
