Lyrics below:


Prayer Of The Refugee Lyrics
Artist(Band):Rise Against

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Down!

We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.

But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

So open your eyes child,
Let’s be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer,
We’ll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
And the lives we’ve reclaimed.

Go!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!

Oh yeah, just wondering people, if you watched the first video, or at least listen to the song, what type of emotion do you feel, if any at all. I felt angry and upset, the song really got to me. Just want some thoughts. Thx :P

EDIT: Not 100% sure, but i think this has an alternate ending. I think that its different from the first (just the ending), but i'm not sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWcO-n1rbSk&mode=related&search=

This is a great song, off a fucking amazing album. One of my favourites from 2006, although there are better tunes on there :)

Yeah, I love most of their songs, but some I'm not to fond of, I don't know why but there are just some songs by them that I'm not to fond of. They inspired my favorite band, so I will continue to listen to them. WOOT! :P
