lyrics

Alive

Chemicals course through your body
draining your natural warmth
leaving a pale reminder
of what lies at the end of this story
to cure you they must kill you
one cell at a time
something goes numb inside you
as you feel each one die

Will you be reborn?
will you become a new creation?

I've lost my religion, used up all my faith
but I'm still standing, though my strength is shaken
alive

they lie every time you see them
and look off into space
they can't coldly deceive you
while looking at your face
who will pay the price?
is the first question they ask
calculating your survival
into cold, hard cash

Will you be reborn?
will you become a new creation?

I've lost my religion, used up all my faith
but I'm still standing, though my strength is shaken
alive

do they feel a sense of power as they sentence you to hell?
do they feel cheated when you die?
do they ever lay awake all night long?
and I wonder- do they ever cry?

Will you be reborn?
will you become a new creation?

I've lost my religion, used up all my faith
but I'm still standing, though my strength is shaken
alive
