Heaven Knows - Rise Against

From the album "Revolutions Per Minute", written and sung by Tim McIlrath


Lyrics:

The day I learn to fly , Im never coming down
On perfect Ill rise through the layers of the clouds
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their fires lit

I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place... from you

I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that I do,
You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist

And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their fires lit

I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place... from you

I close my eyes as the curtains draw,
I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong,
cause youre not there anymore,
No you're not there anymore

And so I lift my chin and the show goes on,
The sky is listening, the stars all sing along,
But you're not there anymore,
And I just cant care anymore

I cannot believe it.... I cannot believe it. I had NO IDEA they did a music video for this song. I can't believe it. I'm gonna cry right now. More then 2,033 people need to see this. I'm just awestruck. Just.... oh my god. At least that guitarist is recognized. I've seen him live, and I've seen his name on wiki and stuff, but I've never seen him in a music video. Tell your friends, tell your friends, friends. This needs to be seen.

One night back in 2003 I went to the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA to see Anti-Flag. Before they came on a band I had never heard of before took the stage and the energy and stage presence of this band just completely blew my mind. This was one of the first songs I had ever heard from them. I went home that night and looked up everything I could find on them and almost 9 years later Rise Against is still one of my all-time favorite bands.

@samybowl Yeah, that's not Chris.... it's Todd Mahoney. He left the band after RPM and Chris was the guitarist for Siren Song and Sufferer and the Witness. The freakin' Zach came, and ruined the hardcore nature of Rise Against. Don't take me wrong, he's still good, and I still own every single Rise Against song ever released (and not released), but I think their best music ended with the Sufferer.
