Alive Lyrics – Wage War
Alive Song Lyrics
[Intro: Briton Bond]
Get up!
[Verse 1: Briton Bond]
This is revolution
A generation rising to become the solution
Torn down by every word
Silenced, no voice to be heard
So you think this is fair?
Hung by their words like a noose
Cross the line if you dare
[Pre-Chorus: Briton Bond]
They said we'd never make it out alive
They said we'd never make it out alive
They said we'd never make it out alive
They said
[Chorus: Briton Bond]
They said we'd never make it out alive
But I broke the mold and I survived
Hate is a cancer
We are the problem, love is the answer
They said we'd never make it out alive
But I broke the mold and I survived
Hate is a cancer
We are the problem, love is the answer
Go!
[Verse 2: Briton Bond]
If we're the troubled youth they claim that we are
Condemned to sink to the depths of a world ripped apart
I'd rather spend my life believing there's hope
Than be obsessed with how to tie the end of my rope
[Pre-Chorus: Briton Bond]
They said we'd never make it out alive
They said we'd never make it out alive
They said we'd never make it out alive
They said
[Chorus: Briton Bond]
They said we'd never make it out alive
But I broke the mold and I survived
Hate is a cancer
We are the problem, love is the answer
They said we'd never make it out alive
But I broke the mold and I survived
Hate is a cancer
We are the problem, love is the answer
[Bridge: Briton Bond]
Higher and higher until we fall
Deeper and deeper into this hole
Shame me, you blame me, you're victimless
Judge me, do nothing like all the rest
Higher and higher until we fall
Deeper and deeper into this hole
Shame me, you blame me, you're victimless
Judge me, do nothing like all the rest
[Outro: Briton Bond]
I'd rather spend my life believing there's hope
Than be obsessed with how to tie the end of my rope

The opening verse sets the tone for the song, declaring a call to revolution and empowerment for a generation seeking to be the solution to societal issues. It highlights the struggles of being silenced and oppressed by others' words, symbolized by being "hung by their words like a noose." The verse challenges the notion of fairness and dares individuals to cross the line and stand up for what they believe in.
[Pre-Chorus]

Despite the negativity and obstacles thrown their way, there's a defiant spirit present, suggesting a determination to prove the doubters wrong and overcome the odds.
[Chorus]
The chorus serves as a triumphant declaration of survival and resilience. It rejects the idea that the protagonist and their peers would succumb to the negativity and adversity surrounding them. Instead, they have broken free from societal molds and survived against all odds. The lyrics juxtapose hate as a destructive force with love as the solution, urging listeners to embrace love to combat the prevailing issues.
[Bridge]
The bridge delves deeper into the struggles faced by the protagonist and their generation.

[Outro]
The outro reiterates the theme of hope and resilience introduced earlier in the song. It emphasizes the importance of holding onto hope rather than being consumed by despair.
