Live or Die
How can we have made it this far,
and still not know what we’re doing?
We’ve come to that fork in the road,
where each way will lead to ruin.
Cause everything we’ve been told is a lie…
Does anyone care if we live or die?
So why can’t we all understand,
you and I will be next to go.
If we keep following this plan,
then no one will survive the blow.
Because once the oceans have all gone dry…
Will anyone care if we live or die?
I wonder what’ll rise from the ash,
after all the trees are burned down.
What life will spring up from the dry,
and barren, charcoal-covered ground?
When nothing but thick black clouds fill the sky…
There will be no choice if we live or die.
Now I have fired the warning shot,
I hope that the sound will be heard.
If we don’t try our very best,
then we will get what we deserve.
It’s enough to make the hardest heart cry…
Let’s all decide we want to live, not die.
