Rise Against
"Midnight Hands"

Like a new day rising,
Like a calm before the storm
Like fog lifting from valleys
On a 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 is watching
Like I'm not alone
I stopped and I vowed right then I said that

"Whatever path you take, wherever you might go,
Whenever you decide to leave, I will follow."

We face a crossroad
Never knowing what's in store
There's an angel on my shoulder
There's a devil at my door

She proclaimed, "Tonight will be
The greatest of our lives."
But 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, wherever you might go,
Whenever you decide to leave, I will follow.
I will follow"

There in the clearing, we gathered close,
Under the moon's pale light
We laid out the tools
"You don't have to do this
And I'd forgive you if you don't"
She just looked away and said, "I know."

Gripped by the midnight hands
We cradle futures
They would prevent
Gripped by the midnight hands

The line's crossed over
The dawn grows closer
Let's bite off too much
Let's jump with a blind trust
In water over our heads

"Whatever path you take, wherever you might go,
And whenever you decide to leave, I will follow.
I will follow"

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

"Whatever path you take, wherever you might go,
And whenever you decide to leave, I will follow.
I will follow"
