Die Alive
Tarja Turunen · Act I [2012]
Led by just a feeling
All around is light
Everything is healing
No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive: to die alive
Overwhelming love, heaven's just a feeling
Singing in my blood keeping me from kneeling
No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive: to die alive
Die alive
No more fate and no more mystery even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive: to die alive.
