I'm Alive Lyrics

Look into my holy eyes
An empty smile
And you’re hypnotized
Selling lies my enterprise
The sheep just get in line
Capitulate so easily
The power of fear
That I’m trafficking
Years of sleep have left you blind
I made the bed your in

As I lead the child to war again
Heaven lives in every gun
I damn you

I’m alive to be the demon
I’m alive to be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hell it lives in everyone

When your world has slipped away
And all you have is me to pay
Once so proud you beg for more
And spread you legs like some dirty whore

I’m invited in
One nation under me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about how corporate greed and the elite have tricked us once agian in to believing that there's a monster out to get you and it's called terrorism. How we have traded our rights in exchange for protection from the boogey man that doesn't exist. Everyday the united States is being sold off to communists and foreign bankers. As the united States is viewed by most of the world as the demon, and here in the States heaven lies in every gun.
