Are we alive?   Is death by my side?      I hear the sirens, see the flashing lights   Every step I take, death is by my side   Watch uswither, burn at both ends   Bury your hopes, and hold your breath      Are we alive?   Is death by my side?      Work your fingers to the bone   Die with nothing, die alone   You point the gun at me   I point at you   Born to expire   And there's nothing we can do      Are we alive?   Is death by my side?      Are we alive?   Is there anything left - anything left   anything left inside?      Addiction, disease   The threat of war it spreads   This world's a nightmare   I'm left for dead
