August Burns Red – The First Step lyrics

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
Times make changes
Humanity makes mistakes
Mistakes make answers
We live to learn

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.
So scared,
Why?
We're so scared

The ground you walk on
Isn't a 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,
Your lies shall become our truth!

Without competition
There is no progression.
Society won't wait for statues
To break free of their brass case.
Evolve or die!
