If Id started from the top

And worked my way down

Thered be no reason

To live forever

To live forever

The starvation has turned

Me outside in

And the wind has blown

Me halfway across the world

Across the world

Why was I born

In an age of distrust

Id offered some change

For a photograph

It will always stay the same [**a**]

You will always be the same

Until I saw the desire for revenge

My heart never once went astray

As long as I have to die in the attempt

Then there is no reason

To live forever

I found you where [03:37]

They left you there

A passing word thats gone forever

And searching my memory for answers

I saw the words of a letter you wrote

She said you dont have to live forever,

You dont want to live forever.

And everythings changing now,

I dont want to live forever.

[alternate ending - (live in tokyo home video)]

[beginning at **a** above. ]

It will always stay the same

Always be the same

Until I saw the desire for revenge

My heart never once went astray

As long as I have to die in the attempt

Then there is no reason

To live forever

Until I saw the desire for revenge

As long as I have to die in the attempt

If I had to charge the attack

Let me

No reason

No reason

No reason

No reason

To live forever

[alternate ending - (studio acoustic version - "subconscious" cd)]

[recorded as james labries vocal audition in 1990. ]

[beginning at **a** above. ]

It will always stay the same

Always be the same

Until I show desire for revenge

My heart never once went astray

As long as I have to die in the attempt

Then thered be no reason

To live forever

Until I show desire for revenge

As long as I have to die in the attempt

As long as I have to die in the attempt

Then thered be no reason

No reason

No reason

To live forever

To live forever
