Present, Future, and Past Lyrics
Try to destroy me
I am a soldier
I am a riot
I am the new age
I am no liar
I'm an idea
I am steadfast
I am present, future, and past
Like a forest burning, time is running out
And the tides keep turning, I am here, I am now
Like a wave that's breaking, I will take you out
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Come
Try to destroy me
As much as you hold me I will escape
Everything that you told me I will change
Don't think you can mold me
I am a rock
Your words can't control me, it's only just talk
Like a forest burning, time is running out
And the tides keep turning, I am here, I am now
You are a cancer
You are the dying breed of the old age
The flames are rising
A burning empire
Grown on ignorance
The truth in our fire, lit so passionate
I am a soldier
I am a riot
I am the new age
I am no liar
I'm an idea
I am steadfast
I am present, future, and past
Like a forest burning, time is running out
And the tides keep turning, I am here, I am now
Like a wave that's breaking, I will take you out
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Come
Try to destroy me
As much as you hold me I will escape
Everything that you told me I will change
Don't think you can mold me
I am a rock
Your words can't control me, it's only just talk
Like a forest burning, time is running out
And the tides keep turning, I am here, I am now
You are a cancer
You are the dying breed of the old age
The flames are rising
A burning empire
Grown on ignorance
The truth in our fire, lit so passionate
Tear me up, don't make a difference at all
Take me down, don't make a difference at all
Tear me up, don't make a difference
Like a forest burning, time is running out
And the tides keep turning, I am here, I am now
Like a wave that's breaking, I will take you out
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
I am a soldier
I am a riot
I am the new age
I am no liar
I'm an idea
I am steadfast
I am present, future, and past
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Take me down, don't make a difference at all
Tear me up, don't make a difference
Like a forest burning, time is running out
And the tides keep turning, I am here, I am now
Like a wave that's breaking, I will take you out
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
I am a soldier
I am a riot
I am the new age
I am no liar
I'm an idea
I am steadfast
I am present, future, and past
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
Try to destroy me
