To the ends of this lost world
You have marched and you have sworn
To a tainted crown of thorns
As the hungry sails unfurl
We are trusted from the shore
And it's you that we search for
The blackest night
The midnight sun
The covered tracks and days spent on the run
The strangers we've become
[Chorus]
These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Another place, another time
We toed the same side of the line
Yeah we saw eye to eye
Even then the saddest sounds,
Were nothing laughter could not drown
But we are not laughing now
I see your face
In my sights
I hesitate
And then look for a sign
Somewhere in the sky
[Chorus]
Even together, we stand apart
Swallow the sun, erase the sky
An invitation has been declined
Where did you go? Where did you go?
[Chorus]
It's alright now
Oh, oh
It's alright now
'Cause all is forgiven
If you could just listen
It's alright
It's alright.
You have marched and you have sworn
To a tainted crown of thorns
As the hungry sails unfurl
We are trusted from the shore
And it's you that we search for
The blackest night
The midnight sun
The covered tracks and days spent on the run
The strangers we've become
[Chorus]
These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Another place, another time
We toed the same side of the line
Yeah we saw eye to eye
Even then the saddest sounds,
Were nothing laughter could not drown
But we are not laughing now
I see your face
In my sights
I hesitate
And then look for a sign
Somewhere in the sky
[Chorus]
Even together, we stand apart
Swallow the sun, erase the sky
An invitation has been declined
Where did you go? Where did you go?
[Chorus]
It's alright now
Oh, oh
It's alright now
'Cause all is forgiven
If you could just listen
It's alright
It's alright.

certain lines such as 'its alright' and 'all is forgiven' would be irrelevant.
I believe this song does, indeed refer to God. but instead of us asking where is he, God is crying out to all sinners to 'come home' 'cause all is forgiven' if we could 'just listen'.
But now, when I hear it I think more about a girlfriend who is running from a sick and abusive boyfriend. He is regretting, but he can not see what he's doing wrong. But he's begging her to come home.
Though, there are many ways this song can be interpreted we've noticed...
I will go no further, I'll let you guys figure out the rest, these clues should be enough, and if not just keep in mind that Tim and Brandon are both atheist, it should help you interpret their songs. And much of the Appeal to Reason album is about religion. Drones = "disciples of the gods... never live nor breathe." Collapse = "this is not a test."
I like these other interpretations though, I don't agree with them, but music is to be interpreted so I won't criticize how you see the song.
His new band is called 'Last of the Believers'.
But the narrator seems to want him to come back.
Chris left Rise Against because of the touring.
He thought it was too much pressure.
So now there is Zach replacing him, and I absolutely dislike him.
Not saying he's bad at playing his guitar.
Imo his style just doesn't fit for Rise Against,
but he likes touring more than Chris, that's obvious.
I have high doubts. but does anyone know for sure?
there's no way its actual morse code.
