I stood mid ocean, seeking dry land
For which to stand 
(I was lost)
I placed my fire of service upon his alter
 ( I remained hopeful) 
Knowing my actions wouldn't falter
I rise to every challenge 
(Stand Up)
However, I keep on dying repeatedly
 (keep going)
But I live on adamantely  
I keep on dying because I love to live
 (there is hope)
Rotting flesh and maggots do not convince me of my demise (trickery)
The years and cold defeat live deep in the lines 
along my face 
That I wish I could erase 
(I'm getting too old for this)
HE gave me a gift
I keep up my sleeve 
(a blessing)
I can walk the ocean floor and not have to breathe
 (strength)
I shall never raise my face as a white flag of surrender 
For I am a believer
This is Madness
A kind of hunger
And I am Starving
It's
Mad
