Lyrics August Burns Red – The First Step

Without competition there is no progression.
Society won’t wait for statues to break free of their brass case.
Carry the point, be the focus.
Notice the inevitable.

We live to learn, we live to love, we live to die.
Learn to question why.
We live to learn, we live to love, we live to die.
Learn to question why.
Why?
We’re so scared to take the first step.
Why?
We are so scared.

The ground you walk on isn’t straight line,
And neither are the toils of life.
Standing still, just to watch it pass you by;
To watch the world pass you by.

We are pushing for change, waiting for the world to take notice.
Breaking down barriers, as we strive for a better way.
With determination we’ll march on in protest.
With determination we’ll see this through.
Evolve or die, move on or drown.

Evolve or die.
Move on or drown.

History’s greatest generation will be removed by the Earth’s most advanced.
Your battles will become our peace.
Your lies shall become our truth.
We will replace the old cards with the new.
Your battles will become our peace.

Without competition there is no progression.
Society won’t wait for statues to break free of their brass case.
Evolve or die.
