I'm Alive

Never again will I be dishonored

And never again will I be reminded

Of livin' within the world of the jaded

They kill inspiration

It's my obligation



To never again allow this to happen

Where do I begin the choices are endless

Denying sin, my art, my redemption

I carry the torch of my fathers before me



Chorus:

The thing I treasure most in life

Cannot be taken away

There will never be a reason why

I will surrender to your advice

To change myself, I'd rather die

No they will not understand

I will make the greatest sacrifice

You can't predict where the outcome lies

You'll never take me alive



I'm alive (3x)



Change again cannot be considered

I rage again dispelling my anger

Where do I begin the choices are endless

My art, my redemption my only salvation



I carry the gift that I have been blessed with

My soul is adrift in oceans of madness

Repairing the rift that you have created

I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now



Chorus



Bridge:

I'm no slave are you feeling brave

Or have you gone out of your mind

No more games it won't feel the same

If I hold my anger inside



There's no meaning my soul is bleeding

I've had enough of your kind

One suggestion use your discretion

Before you label me blind



Chorus



I'm alive (8x)
