I Feel Alive

from Newfoundland by Great North

/

lyrics

I recall when the wall came down. You were lying in the gutter, said we’d leave this town behind. We toughened up, used our skin like walls, our time like loose change, our words like morse code.

And so we waged a holy war.

The blackest wave, the darkest night. White knuckles on the wheel as I turned the car around.

You flying at me like a wrecking ball. Coal in the garden, salt in the soil.

And so we wrote a holy law.

God held me up over your veins. I watched your body as the water drained away.

You whirling through me like a hurricane. Gold in the gutter. Silver in the rain

We’re washed away. But it’s your ghost in every street. It’s your words in every speech. I feel alive, in this fiery breathing heat, in this icy creeping sleet. All the dead will rise and speak. I feel alive.
