Lyrics[edit | edit source]
What is this feeling
Of power and drive
I've never known?
I feel alive!
Where does this feeling
Of power derive,
Making me know
Why I'm alive?
Like the night, it's a secret
Sinister, dark, and unknown.
I do not know what I seek
Yet I'll seek it alone!
I have a thirst
That I cannot deprive.
Never have I felt so alive!
There is no battle
I couldn't survive-
Feeling like this-
Feeling alive!
Like the moon, an enigma,
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma,
But blazing with light!
It's the feeling of being alive!
Filled with evil, but truly alive!
It's the truth that cannot be denied!
It's the feeling of being Edward Hyde!
