Forty Days - Rise Against

Lyrics by：Tim McIlrath

Composed by：Tim McIlrath/Joe Principe/Brandon Barnes/Zach Blair

And tell me all your stories

Tell me what the world was like

Tell me how to fake my death

Or tell me how I'm gonna survive

Tell me about the price you paid

And whether it was worth your time

Tell me about the life you made

When was the last time you cried?

Or don't tell me anything at all

I'll get back up if I fall

Don't tell me about where it's at

I'll draw my own damn map

Come find me when it's over

When we're not looking over our shoulders

This rain keeps coming and I-I-I

Well I will wait here as the waters rise

Forty days and forty nights

Nothing you can say will make me move

If I'm dead and gone when you arrive

Bury me right where I lie and wait

'Til you are buried too

Now looking back I see the missteps

Praying for this storm to miss us

But it was always on it's way

But it was always on it's way

On bread alone we roamed the desert

A pain for which there is no measure

Like a dam that's giving way

Like a dam that's giving way

We lived in floodplains

Until it was too late

And now I wait here as the waters rise

Forty days and forty nights

Nothing you can say will make me move

If I'm dead and gone when you arrive

Bury me right where I lie and wait

'Til you are buried too

I'll break my back waiting here

I'm fasting as my stomach turns

Footsteps on the glowing embers

Barefoot on the coals for you I will burn

I will burn

I will burn

I will burn

I will wait here as the waters rise

Forty days and forty nights

Nothing you can say will make me move

If I'm dead and gone when you arrive

Bury me right where I lie and wait

'Til you are buried too
