Gregory - The Will to Survive Lyrics

It was the will to survive
No apology for the things I tried
Forgive me this one indiscretion
I survived

So I'm a little bit afraid
For there is danger all around
And there is nothing to dissuade me from enduring

One thing is certain: I will die
So I invoke an afterlife
Still I retain the will to survive

Underneath this mask of civility
I harbor the instincts of carnality

I hope for tomorrow
I pray for today
I adapt to the changes
As my fear bleeds away

I fight the good fight
In the service of my brothers
I stand as alone
Against the bane of all others

I offer expressions of camaraderie
In hope of disguising my misanthropy
It was not me, I swear
It was the will to survive this merciless sacrifice
No apology for the things I tried
Forgive me this one indiscretion
I survived
Please forgive me
