Live Before You Die
know your place know your fate
stay behind closed gates
never dare always fear
it's better inside here
keep your eyes to the ground
don't ever look around
be what is expected
do is directed
what is is
its enough you live
shadows of joy
just harmful noise
never is best
always less
avoid any mess
survive by this
in the deepness of night
does your spirit fight
daring to dream
images unseen
what if you cross the line
would you be so incline
open the door
chase the stars forever more
look and what do you see
others running free
hold hands and fly
live before you die
hold hands and fly
live before you die
