I Survive

Written by Sir Pebyr ap Cucorin about Sinjen of Baraduin.

Let the circle stay unbroken,

That's what our teachers said,

And when the fires of hell came down,

We're the only ones amongst the dead,

And you know we cried,

When the company died,

And we went our seperate ways,

I've been halfway around this world,

Lord there's got to be a better way,

Chorus: Oh lord, it ain`t often pretty,

And it ain't often kind,

But somehow I seem to survive,

And like the phoenix rising into the sky,

I just can't seem to die,

Lord it ain`t often pretty,

And it ain`t often kind,

But somehow I seem to survive,

I left behind more women,

Than I ever knew,

But the only one that stays in my dreams,

Is a dark haired beauty,

With eyes made of steel,

But her smile could set your soul flying free,

And I gave my heart,

But we got torn apart,

I'll never be the same,

I see her laughing in every woman's eyes,

We'll meet again someday,

Repeat chorus:

Seductively it sings in my mind,

Like my sword is all the love that I need,

And on the battlefield I stand in my prime,

While death is singing songs just for me,

Oh what can it be,

This thing they call peace,

Is it just a war denied,

Cause everything that I've known and I've loved,

Has vanished in the mists of time,

Repeat chorus:

In a city by a river I've found,

The stuff of which my dreams are made,

They keep saying I can put my sword down,

And finally take control of my fate,

But it's been so long,

And like a tired song,

It's hard to let go of the past,

And you know it's so hard to believe,

That I finally could have found home at last,

Repeat chorus:
