Born and Raised Lyrics


All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking what does it all mean?I've lost all direction, I've lost all my direction
And now I wish that I would have believed, could have believed
Escape, escape, nature's indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat to the bliss of our creationWe were born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmthTwo hands come together to pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass guided by a field
In the mind of every man two ghosts dance
Was this place made or was it here by chance?I've lost all direction, I've lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed, could have believed
Escape, escape, nature's indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat to the bliss of our creationWe were born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north

Our hearts will roam in search of warmthUncountable numbers written in new fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees God's face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faithFrom birth to death we search for what's yet to be known
We hope and pray and ask but we are never shownBorn and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmthWe were born and raised, born and raised
Born and raised, born and raised

Alexisonfire (pronounced 'alexis-on-fire') was a band from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Their music was characterized by turbulent and explosive dynamics with intricate guitar melodies. Consisting of five friends, they formed in late 2001 as the result of a three-band break up. In August 2011, it was announced on their website that they had broken up as members expressed interests in other projects.

The band’s name is inspired by a lactating contortionist stripper named Alexis Fire. This caused problems when she discovered that they were using her website name (alexisonfire.com) as their band name, and threatened to sue. However, since she had never trademarked the title nothing became of these threats. In the end, the band decided to change their website’s URL in spite to theonlybandever.com

Alexisonfire’s lyrical topics range from relationship troubles to go-karting. They have two primary vocalists, screaming duties carried out by George Pettit, and singing by Dallas Green, with support from Wade MacNeil.

While their largest fanbase was in their home country of Canada, they also became more popular in other parts of the world, including Japan, Australia, Europe and the US. In the second half of 2010, they toured Australia with Break Even, Europe with Chickenhawk and The Computers and then Canada with Norma Jean and La Dispute.

The band was nominated for "ugliest rock band ever" at the CASBY awards (held by local Toronto radio station) but lost out to another Canadian born band, Sum 41. In 2010 they then won the "Best New Single" Award for their track The Northern.
