Analysis of Alive Yet Dead
I am living your nightmare you have cursed me you did not care.
Always left me in your shadow, fighting my own holy battle.
Demons haunting my heart aching, innocence lost you have taken.
Feeling anger getting sicker hope this guilt will kill you quicker.
**Cause I'm alive yet dead. Feel alive yet dead.**
I still hate you never loved you, couldn't wait till your life was through.
Cause your mind games became my games, now I have won pain has begun.
And I'm laughing as your dying, you're not worth it I'm done crying.
I have suffered in your prison, you will never be forgiven.
**Cause I'm alive yet dead. Feel alive yet dead.**
Now I'm washing the pain off, I've realized it was not my fault.
I have wasted far too much time, blaming myself for your crime.
While you're burning far bellow me, just remember you still owe me.
Many years of pain and tears I'm giving them back, hope you like that.
Now you're screaming, now you're bleeding, now that cycle is repeating.
Tortured tables are now turning, with the Devil you'll be burning.
Keep on burning, keep on burning, keep on burning, keep on burning.
**Cause I'm alive yet dead. Feel alive yet dead**……
