To change myself, I'd rather die, though they will not understand
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To never again, allow this to happen
Where the outcome lies, you'll never take me alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Where the outcome lies, you'll never take me alive
Where do I begin? The choices are endless
I carry the torch of my fathers before me
I'm no slave, are you feeling brave?
To change myself, I'd rather die, though they will not understand
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
Where do I begin? The choices are endless
I will make the greatest sacrifice, you can't predict
Or have you gone out of your mind?
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now
I will make the greatest sacrifice, you can't predict
Never again will I be dishonored
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
They kill inspiration, it's my obligation
No more games, it won't feel the same
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Repairing the rift that you have created
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
To change myself, I'd rather die, though they will not understand
I will make the greatest sacrifice, you can't predict
If I hold my anger inside
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
Change again, cannot be considered

Before you label me blind
Where the outcome lies, you'll never take me alive
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Songwriters: Dan Donegan, David Draiman, Mike Wengren
There's no meaning, my soul is bleeding
Denying the sin, my art, my redemption
I rage again, dispelling my anger
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
