You feel the fear in the canyon in the pouring rain/ It gets so cold up here this time of year/ And the mountain can you make you a king and a pawn at the very same time/ So you promise God that you'd give anything to make it out of here
You really live when you could really die/ That’s how it feels to feel alive
So you wipe that scared look off your face and keep ridin' down the trail/ Fighting timber, and mud, raging river and slippery stone/ There’s a flash of light on the canyon wall/ Hell falls from the sky to you down below, washing out the trail that leads you home
You really live when you could really die/ That’s how it feels to feel alive
And your mind is seeking shelter in slow motion/ But it’s motion that feeds your heart’s desire/ Though you covet warmth from the hidden sun, it’s times like this that you burn with, burn with fire
That’s how it feels to feel alive/ That’s how it feels to feel alive
You really live when you could really die/ That’s how it feels…
