When I ran from the hounds of hell Twist my foot, I nearly fell I was lucky I was alive One look back I could have died I was the sole survivor Sole survivor Sole survivor Solitary fighter When I saw it I was amazed One time glory right in my gaze I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy Right in the darkness none could destroy 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]
