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 lonely road
I didnt know which way to go
You made my blood run cold
And filled me up with sorrow

Theres no where 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,)
Never 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've control me from within
Your love has been a sin
I wont forget tomorrow

Theres no where for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I wont go without a fight
You'll never take me alive

You'll never take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
Never take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
Take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
Ever take me alive (Oh no you wont)
You'll never (Ooooh oooh ooh)

In the fire inside the circle
No retreat today
In the fire inside the circle
No retreat today

You'll never take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
(In the fire inside the circle)
Never take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
(No retreat today)
Take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
(In the fire inside the circle)
Ever take me alive (Oh no you won't,)
(In the fire, in the fire, inside...)
