Sooner or Later Songtext
von Rise Against

We burned the boats to ashes
After beaching on the shore
Looked back across the ocean
And said we′re never going home
Our shadows killed the flowers
Our footsteps spoiled the land
It seems we're always in the way
No matter where we choose to stand

Can we just wait until this is over
If we know that our precious time is running out?

Sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later we all have to go home
Sooner or later there′s a time to face the music, face the sound
Sooner or later we all have to go home


From the gods we all seek favor
With every sacrificial lamb
But the bodies all pile higher
And the blood just stains our hands

And soon you'll feel the panic
In your breath and in your veins
When you know there's no tomorrow
And you′ve realized too late

And still, we wait
While our precious time is running out
Sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later we all have to go home

Sooner or later there′s a time to face the music, face the sound
Sooner or later we all have to go
While our precious time is running out

Are we just passengers so sick of waiting for this final destination?
Where we all will end up, I would die to know
Die to know that place


Sooner or later comes a time when we will reap what we have sown
Sooner or later we all have to go home
Sooner or later comes a time when we'll have nowhere left to run
Sooner or later we all have to go home
