Remain Alive

I've held on for so very long 
Listened to every saint and sinners song 
The words of sinful men 
A symphony begging to be condemned

Liars place bets on truth 
The old and weary long for days of youth 
But the generation of love and tolerance
Paved the way for hate and ignorance

What can be done about the devils game 
We who would carry crosses but feel ashamed 
To hold onto our faith 
The precious gift no living man can take

The mountains bow and the seas will part 
For the faithful with a witness heart 
In this life the flesh may die 
But in the spirit we remain alive
