I Am Alive

[Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar chugging, bass-heavy mix] I walk through fire to fend the day I wear my scars like a masquerade I've refreshed to shake my core Try to end me I want more [drums build with snare rolls] Asphalt down like shattered sky Still I stand I never die All the ghosts I buried deep Now they wake inside of me [Pre-Chorus] [melodic vocals, strings become more prominent] I won't sink into the void I am rage you can't destroy [Chorus] [full power, soaring vocals, heavy distortion] I am alive! Hear the sound! From the grave beneath the ground Through the dark I cut my way I was born to dominate I am alive! Feel the flame! I am more than all your pain Try to break me I survive I am... I am alive! (I am alive!) [Verse 2] [bass-driven rhythm, staccato guitar stabs] Cold betrayal, sharpened breath I've been dancing close to death Every lie you ever told Built the monster you behold Now the storm is carved in bone I don't walk this path alone Every scar a war I won I become what I've become [Pre-Chorus] [vocals intensify] I won't sink into the void (into the void) I am rage you can't destroy [Chorus] [driving double-time drums] I am alive! Hear the sound! From the grave beneath the ground Through the dark I cut my way I was born to dominate I am alive! Feel the flame! I am more than all your pain Try to break me I survive I am... I am alive! [Bridge] [half-time feel, atmospheric synth pads] In the black I found my name Forged in loss, reborn in flame No redemption, no disguise [vocals build to a scream] Only truth behind these eyes! [Final Chorus] [maximum intensity, orchestral layers] I am alive! See me rise! Like a storm that splits the skies From the dark into the fire I will burn into the light I am alive! Uncontained! Every scar runs through my name You can't kill what won't die I am... I am alive! (I am alive!) I am alive!
