[Verse 1]
When I ride the hounds of hell
Twist my foot, I nearly fell
I was lucky I was alive
One look back, I could have died

[Chorus]
I was the sole survivor
Sole survivor, sole survivor
Solitary fire

[Verse 2]
When I saw it I was amazed
One time glory right in my gaze
I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy
Light in the darkness none could destroy

[Chorus]
I am the sole survivor
The sole survivor, sole survivor
Solitary fire

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end
[Chorus/Outro]
I'll be the sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor (survivor)
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor...
