Текст песни Rise Against - Collapse

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won't snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we've lost our will

That's how we'll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take

For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace

This is a chance to set things straight
To bend or break the rules back into place
There is no middle ground, no compromise, we've drawn the line
With perfect aim, we stand back and throw,
Glass windows break and it's all about to blow
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that it stays lit

Neutrality means that you don't really care
Cause the struggle goes on even when you're not there
Blind and unaware

That's how we'll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all,
yeah we all, all fall from grace

Когда высохнут наши реки и прекратятся урожаи,
Когда лето станет длиннее, а зимой не будет снега
От берегов океана и заледеневших холмов
До войны в пустыне, где все действие застыло,
Когда мы лишимся права выбора и силы воли...

Тогда мы и поймем,
Что это не проверка, нет,
Это остановка сердец всего мира,
Слишком гордых, чтобы признать свои ошибки,
И мы врезаемся в землю, впадая в немилость.

Когда мы будем задыхаться от воздуха, которым дышим,
Когда малярия распространится от болот до наших домов,
Когда разгромят все фермы и заасфальтируют все земли,
Когда весь домашний скот рядами поведут на бойню,
То сколько еще понадобится нам,

Тогда мы и поймем,
Что это не проверка, нет,
Это остановка сердец всего мира,
Слишком гордых, чтобы признать свои ошибки,
И мы целуем землю, впадая в немилость.

Это наш шанс все исправить, поставить на свои места,
Изменить законы, нарушить их, если надо,
Нет середины, нет компромисса, мы сами провели черту,
С непоколебимым намерением мы снова встаем и атакуем,
Бьются оконные стекла, все вот-вот взлетит на воздух,
Везде гаснет свет, пока мы снова передаем другим факел
В надежде, что он не погаснет...

"Нейтралитет" означает, что вам все равно,
Потому что схватка продолжается и без вас,
А вы умыли руки и живете в слепом неведении...

Тогда мы и поймем,
Что это не проверка, нет,
Это остановка сердец всего мира,
Слишком гордых, чтобы признать свои ошибки,
И мы врезаемся в землю, и все,
Да, мы все, все впадаем в немилость.

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won't snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we've lost our will

This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take

For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace

Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all,
yeah we all, all fall from grace

When our rivers dry up and cease yields
When summer becomes longer , and will not be snow in winter
From the coast and the hills of the Frozen
Before the war in the desert where all the action is frozen ,
When we lose the right to choose and willpower ...

Then we realize
That it is not checked , no,
This stop hearts all over the world ,
Too proud to admit their mistakes ,
And we hit the ground , falling into disfavor.

When we choke on the air we breathe ,
When malaria spread from swamps to our homes,
When crush all farms and asphalted all the land
When all the rows of livestock will lead to the slaughter ,
How much more will be needed ,

Then we realize
That it is not checked , no,
This stop hearts all over the world ,
Too proud to admit their mistakes ,
And we kiss the ground, falling into disfavor.

This is our chance to fix it , to put into place,
Change laws to break them , if necessary,
There is no middle , no compromise , we had a hell themselves ,
With unwavering intention we get up again and attack ,
Beat windowpanes , all about going into the air ,
All the lights go out , until we again pass the torch to others
In the hope that he will not go out ...

"Neutrality " means that you do not care
Because the fight goes on without you ,
And you have washed your hands and live in blind ignorance ...

Then we realize
That it is not checked , no,
This stop hearts all over the world ,
Too proud to admit their mistakes ,
And we hit the ground , and all
Yes, we all fall into disfavor.
