Standard (EADGBE)

Never again will I be dishonored

 And never again will I be reminded

 Of living 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 the sin

 My art, my redemption

 I carry the torch of my fathers before me

 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

 Though they will not understand

 I won't make the greatest sacrifice

You can't predict where the outcome lies

You'll never take me alive

 I'm alive

 I'm alive

 I'm alive

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

 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

 Though they will not understand

 I won't make the greatest sacrifice

You can't predict where the outcome lies

You'll never take me alive

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

 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

 Though they will not understand

 I won't make the greatest sacrifice

You can't predict where the outcome lies

You'll never take me alive

 I'm alive

 I'm alive

 I'm alive

 I’m alive

 I’m alive

 I’m alive

 I’m alive
