Rise Against - The Dirt Whispered Lyrics






She got down on hands and knees,
One ear against the ground,
Holding her breath to hear something,
But the dirt made not a sound tonight

Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores,
Where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more,
So it goes

But still we give ourselves to this
We can't spend our lives waiting to live

On cold nights
In a prayer for dawn
But the daylight
Isn't what she wants

The concrete
Calls my name again
I'm falling
Through the cracks I slip

The postcard says wish you were here
But I'd rather I was there,
Holding on to the simple things before they disappear,
That's what I meant

But that was then, and this is now
I'll make it up to you somehow

On cold nights
In a prayer for dawn
But the daylight
Isn't what she wants

The concrete
Calls my name again
I'm falling
Through the cracks I slip

A destination, a fading smile.
Another station, another mile.
Another day gone, I swore that I will.
Be there before dawn.
So be there, I will.

She got down on hands and knees,
One ear against the ground,
Holding her breath to hear something,
Anything at all

The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home"

On cold nights
In a prayer for dawn
But the daylight
Isn't what she wants

The concrete
Calls my name again
I'm falling
Through the cracks I slip

    EVERYONE Please go to movetoamend.org and sign the petition to have a constitutional amendment to end corporate personhood and say that money is not speech. The video "Legalize Democracy" here on youtube does a great job of explaining the historical context and why this is the first step in dealing with all of the major issues facing this country. We can fix it!

  66. C.... ....

    ....... .

  67. M.... M....

    Rise Against is the best Band of the world !!!! :o

  68. R.... ....

    Its the one rise against song other than swing life awya that I skip past.

  69. M.... ....

    nah, it is not the worst, it is one of the less songs. but still a great song

  70. M.... ....

    poor guy, his soul is ruined forever.. shall we help him?

  71. T.... D....

    you suck at trolling kid. Go back under your bridge

  72. R.... ....

    Worst song from rise against

  73. N.... R....

    The dirt made not a sound for 46 people

  74. M.... ....

    Don't come to rise against expecting crap to play and you won't be disappointed.

  75. d.... ....

    I honestly hope you know he is trolling.

  76. d.... L....

    Justin Bieber is just the masses that say, Justin is gay ez. and because nearly 50% of the yt-User are people who hear the masses, just click on the videos and dislike them... but hey we got great music here lets just enjoy it! :))

  77. P.... S....

    I love this song!!!

  78. j.... R....

    You do realize he's just trolling, right?

  79. A.... R....

    From 2:58 onwards is awesome

  80. V.... L....

    Lol s145d145 I read your earlier comments and agree with the whole "creating multiple accounts" argument. Even if each person created 10 accounts that's still over 300k people, wasting their time XD

  81. T.... ....

    This song just randomly cuts off at the end.....

  82. C.... ....

    My brother hates this song but I love it soooo much

  83. L.... ....

    still one of the best songs of rise against <3

  84. s.... ....

    xD! yes I know, but what I try ti say, is that sometimes is not trolls, but actually real persons who are jealous

  85. M.... ....

    He's just doing what trolls do =p

  86. M.... ....

    Sorry, but why bother saying that? x) How much more obvious can a troll get? =p

  87. R.... J....

    I just want to beat you to death with my bare fists..
    and see you bleed...

  88. s.... ....

    4. You have been in nice places on the internet it seems....

  89. s.... ....

    1. oh ok, when I saw the fucking insufferable thing I took it personal without really thinking it lol
    2. well it's said live and let die, not and let live actually xD. Fans of every gender does this. I hate saying this because I'll receive haters, but most people who disliked it are guys who hate him for being famous and having lots of girls behind, and that includes aLOT of pop likers.
    3. Oh really? didn't knew about that.. because I know that youtube gives just for sub

  90. Z.... ....

    1. Nobody insulted anybody.
    2. Which is a pointless thing to do, live and let live. Fans of other genres of music don't carry out that behaviour, which frankly gives it a bad name.
    3. The record label claiming ownership over a video to force advertising gives them money, viewing it through their channel gives them money for advertising.
    4. Well they don't make a load of noise about it everywhere I go on the internet.

  91. s.... ....

    4- No. the worst thing are people who really think that The Beatles copied Bieber (yes they do exist). That and 13 years old girls obsessed with him
    5 don't get me wrong, I didn't disliked it. My policy to this kind of it is if you don't like it, don't watch it only

  92. s.... ....

    1- I'll have o ask you to drop the bad languages. Look through my discussions and you may see that we can get to talk and get things out without having to insult each other.
    2- Not really, it would mean that a lot of people who not have to be just metal/rock/punk lovers used a little bit of his time to dislike the vid cause they don't like the song or they just don't like the fanbase.
    3- a view doesn't give money. youtube gives 2 or 3 dollars every 1000 subs only (or smthing like that)

  93. Z.... ....

    Which says what, exactly? That rock/punk/metal fans waste a lot more time slating genres of music they dislike than any other music fans? What a miserable state of affairs. The irony is that everyone who sits through the VEVO adverts just to hit that dislike button is putting money in the kids pocket. The only thing worse than Bieber fans are the people who hail him as some sort of anti-being to "real" music. The only time I ever hear his name mentioned is by these people. Fucking insufferable.

  94. L.... ....

    Looks like Justin Bieber made 45 accounts and disliked this vid...

  95. S.... 2....

    music was never ment to be a thing where we can escape our lives..music is here to celebrate our lives!

  96. J.... U....

    since when did music become a topic of argument and not the escape from our lives.. I hate you

  97. 1.... ....

    You need many many years of therapy!

  98. K.... ....

    you're humiliating yourself this is music justin bieber is garbage get off of here we dont want you here anyway
