Take Me Alive

I tried and tried to walk away

To be the bigger man and leave

You made it hard for me

For me

It's been a long and lonely road

I didn't know which way to go

You made my blood run cold

And filled me up with sorrow

There's nowhere for me to go

I'm a long way away from home

I won't go without a fight

You'll never take me alive

You'll never take me alive

Oh, no, you won't ever take me alive

Oh, no, you won't take me alive

Oh, no, you won't ever take me alive

Oh, no, you won't

I tried and tried to shed your skin

But you control me from within

Your love has been a sin

I won't forgive tomorrow

There's nowhere for me to go

I'm a long way away from home

I won't go without a fight

You'll never take me alive

You'll never take me alive

Oh, no, you won't ever take me alive

Oh, no, you won't take me alive

Oh, no, you won't ever take me alive

Oh, no, you won't

Build the fire inside the circle

No retreat today

Build the fire inside the circle

No retreat today

You'll never take me alive (build the fire inside the circle)

Oh, no, you won't ever take me alive (no retreat today)

Oh, no, you won't take me alive (build the fire inside the circle)

Oh, no, you won't ever take me alive (no retreat today)

Oh, no, you won't

Build the fire inside (ah), build the fire inside

Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow

Now it's raining and all your petals turn to stone
