Still Alive

I'm taken through the hourglass

I'm being tossed upon the sand

Am I alone

The words still linger in my head

Breathing in the salty air

There is a mark upon my hand

Is there a seat for me among the dreaming dead

Oh I wonder

I was sealed in a tomb of sadness

I was trapped in a cell of sleep

I was held by the hands of time

Now this time is mine to keep

I'm still alive

I'm far from the casket and cradle

I'm still alive

I've taken the fate out of fatal

I'm still alive

They tied me to the pendulum

They hung my heart across the sky

I found my soul eclipsed, my body crucified

I was caged in the age of the miracles

I was set in a hollow sky

I was kept under shadow's lock

Now I don't know how to die

I'm still alive

I'm far from the casket and cradle

I'm still alive

I've taken the fate out of fatal

I'm still alive

My star is rising now, as the ferryman appears

He bears an offering, a piece of silver for my fears

I couldn't cut the deal, mine is not his fate to buy

And I as fly my canvas, he ascends on high

Shattering the earth and the heavens

I feel his icy breath of fire consuming me

Shattering the earth and the heavens

The demon rises up, a bird of coal and flame

Shattering the earth and the heavens

I am surrounded by the wings of water now

Shattering the earth and the heavens

They've come to lift me out of here

I'm still alive

I'm far from the casket and cradle

I'm still alive

I've taken the fate out of fatal

I'm still alive
