Still Alive

Nocturnal Rites

Like a thunder storm it's breaking out

Won't take another blow, and,

I'll let you know

I'll never kneel or falter

'cause you are not the only

I'm not crawling back again

I'm still alive

Though I'm old, trite and weary

And I know I'm alive enough

To stand my ground

So there is nothing to revive -

I'm still alive

I tried to wash away those filthy lies

Betrayed and lead astray,

I just walked away

In my darkest hour

I still hear you breathing

Well, you won't get the best of me
