Alive, but living a lie
Thy light, I keep divine
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
With shadowed eyes, I resign
My life, now paralyzed
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
I say my prayers day and night
But I've found the darkness in the light
(I walk alone, on fire)
Will the open hand be used to fight?
They fear their hell and call for me
I ring the bell, they pay the fee
(I walk alone, on fire)
And pay the toll it takes on me
They try to judge me for their pit of despair
But never think to look within them at the evil I spared
With a stare, they say it's not enough I'm taken for granted
They gotta bury me alive 'cause they know death is inadequate
Not an innocent, but reticent to break into violence
Now a resident, a menace to annihilate biases
I've been pious and reliant on a faith I could believe in
But the time has come to vindicate and faith has now become a demon
Alive, but living a lie
Thy light, I keep divine
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
With shadowed eyes, I resign
My life, now paralyzed
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
Animam agere, abyssus abyssum invocat
Animam agere, abyssus abyssum invocat
Pushed to the limit, an act committed now regretted
Eviscerated, a pact within now desecrated
Resolve gone, forlorn, long forgotten
The soul rots the corpse it belonged in
But from the prison, I got behind one lesson
Your whole past is now the future of your own present
To hold breath in old hands, an omen
Invoke hell in protest to cold death
Alive, but living a lie
Thy light, I keep divine
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
With shadowed eyes, I resign
My life, now paralyzed
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
Alive, but living a lie
Thy light, I keep divine
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
With shadowed eyes, I resign
My life, now paralyzed
I walk along the wire
I walk alone, on fire
