So many roads So many choices in this life So many wishes And this hope that never dies I never hesitate I know it can be mine And if I choose to be A master of disguise So many give their life Without a second doubt Too many die alone Don't die without a fight So many towers But no wizards ride the skies I'll take my chances with this ride As long as I'm alive As long as I'm alive So many mean so well But always do you harm Too many die in vain Why some will take up arms I never hesitate I know this life is mine I'll tell you what I need Without you I'll be fine Too many grains of sand And snakes hide in the grass So many hours And the walls are made of glass I never hesitate Don't care about the prize I'll take my chances with this ride As long as I'm alive As long as I'm alive And when the night comes down It makes no difference And when the night comes down I stand my ground As long as I'm alive If you're still standing now I guess you've got it made Out of this camouflage Out of this old charade You've built your paradise I've seen it so I know Too many lives are lost And plenty more to go Don't sell me paradise I know this heart of stone Hell-bent on sacrifice Leave me the hell alone Too many hearts Too many minds, too many doors Too many question And you've heard them all before Too many broken wheels Revolving ever more Some never will decide Some always seek control I'll take my chances with this ride As long as I'm alive As long as I'm alive
