DEAD OR ALIVE

Chorus

Fleeing from the multitude of snapping jaws
Of misdirected pawns who hunt him down
Victim of a paranoid pack of wolves
Those who have smashed him to the ground

Back to, the tomb of lies
Dead, or Alive

Verse 1

The prisoner laughs at the guard in his cell
The power he had has gone, he knows it too well
He seizes his chance, snatches freedom from fate
Racing to the horizon before it’s too late

His innocent conscience doesn’t matter no more
They wrongly hunt after his breath
No trust from the people, no hiding from law
When caught there’s no hiding from death

Verse 2

He runs in the dark leaving no evidence
Destroying his spirit is their means to advance
Pursuing the scent of an innocent man
They caught him before, now they’ll catch him again

A life in a cell, he’d rather see hell
Free will comes before pain
Nothing stands in his path but for time
They’ve got nothing to gain

(Matt Dawson, Mike Angus)
