Live or Die

Story Behind The Song

This is a song about survival, really. Things happens to us in life that we have no control over and, sometimes those things come from those we loved and trusted the most. We can either remain a victim or we can find the strength to grow our wings and fly above it all. Don't let anyone or any bad experience hold you back. This moment is all we've got.

Lyrics

Sheltered as once before
A thousand drops of rain can't touch her anymore
She lies awake once in a while
Remembering her Freedom Ship sailing down the Nile

You hurt her, and she took revenge
So many fleeting moments she wishes she could live again
She says:
You could live or die
But I will still fly
I walked away, but the years still stayed
Yeah, I walked away, but the tears still stayed
In lonely times she ached
So sad she thought she wouldn't wake
She never found her Oz
But, swore she'd keep on searching just because
She laughs herself to sleep

So many fleeting moments she wishes she could keep
She says:
You could live or die
But I will still fly
I walked away, but the years still stayed
Yeah, I walked away, but the tears still stayed
You hurt her, and she took revenge
So many fleeting moments she wishes she could
live again, yeah

Oh,
You could live or die
But I will still fly
High, I will still fly
