Collapse Lyrics

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow<br /> And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow<br /> From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills<br /> To the fight in the desert where progress stands still<br /> When we’ve lost our will<br /> <br /> That’s how we’ll know<br /> This is not a test, oh no<br /> This is cardiac arrest<br /> Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes<br /> We're crashing into the ground as all fall from grace<br /> <br /> When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke<br /> When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes<br /> When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and<br /> The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave<br /> What more will it take<br /> <br /> For us to know<br /> This is not a test, oh no<br /> This is cardiac arrest<br /> Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes<br /> Kissing the ground as well fall from grace<br /> <br /> This is a chance to set things straight<br /> To bend or break the rules back into place<br /> There is no middle ground, no compromise, we’ve drawn the line<br /> With perfect aim, we stand back and throw<br /> Glass windows break and it’s all about to blow<br /> Lights go out as we pass the torch again<br /> In hope that it stays lit<br /> <br /> Neutrality means that you don’t really care<br /> Cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there<br /> Blind and unaware<br /> <br /> That’s how we’ll know<br /> This is not a test, oh no<br /> This is cardiac arrest<br /> Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes<br /> We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace
