The Decision Tree (We’re Alive) (Live)

Lyrics

[Narrator: John de Lancie] Mortals! You finally all arrived The party begins with ache In the shade of The Decision Tree you have an important choice to make Until now it's all been fun The cursing, the sobbing, the crying, and the shouting And I love your silly notions of Avalon and Elysium Stations on the Moon All so endearing But humans listen to my words The road ahead is dangerous Now only seven will continue on this quest So make a choice and make it quick Survive, or death [Barbarian (John Jaycee Cuijpers - on the live version)] Let it be known I won't be the one to die here Honour and glory are heaped upon my name Let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here What about the tall one, the one who's lost to shame [Highlander (Fish - on the live and original version)] I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners I've killed and wounded on the side of right I've reaped the harvest and scattered fields with ashes I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate [All (on the live and original version), Highlander (Fish - on the live and original version)] We're alive I've followed princes We'll survive I've followed kings We will strike for our freedom I will take their lead no more We're alive I will not lie We'll survive In shallow graves We'll arrive in our Eden [Barbarian (John Jaycee Cuijpers - on the live version)] Let it be known, by Thor, the god of lightning I have been chosen to do battle at his side Let it be clear I was born to go down fighting What about the craven, the one who's lost his pride [Highlander (Fish - on the live and original version)] Don't speak to me of honour, pride and glory I've tasted blood, seen your type before You talk of battle but all you tell are stories You'd see me buried in a shallow grave [All (on the live and original version), Highlander (Fish - on the live and original version)] We're alive I've followed princes We'll survive I've followed kings We will strike for our freedom I will take their lead no more We're alive I will not lie We'll survive In shallow graves We'll arrive in our Eden I'm nobody's slave [All] We're alive, we'll survive We will strike for our freedom We're alive, we'll survive We'll arrive in our Eden
