Red - What You Keep Alive Lyrics
You should be afraid of me
Pain is the promise I will keep
I am the whisper in the dark
I am the scream when you fall
And I will bring the pain you need
You keep me alive (so I can hurt you)
You need me inside (I’m what you keep alive)
You picked me up, you watched me shine, like a razor in your hand
And when I cut beneath your skin, you want it all again
I am the call in the night
I am the truth behind your lie
You keep me alive (so I can hurt you)
You need me inside (I’m what you keep alive)
Turning, the knife is turning now
I can’t pay this ransom (my love, my enemy)
Does any hope remain (I’m swimming in your veins)
My love, my enemy (now you can’t escape)
I can feel you in my veins (the pain is on its way)
And now it’s too late (now I’m letting go)
You should’ve run away (I’ll watch you suffocate)
Now you can’t escape
I am the dark and I am awake
(Suffocate)
Waking, the nightmare bleeds, over
I’ll fight you, your darkness, feeding
I keep you alive (so I can hurt you)
I lift the knife (I’m what you keep alive)
Now you can’t escape (suffocate, suffocate)
You will feel the pain (suffocate, suffocate)

I LOVE the voice over-lapping!!!
Pain is a promise I can keep
Hi! I like your profile😍😍
This song is deep especially if you know of the torments in hell and Lucifer!
Manlyman Physiques Do you think I'm a person
@Elias Alcantara I think you're a crazy person
@Manlyman Physiques okay that's what you think
@Elias Alcantara if you're saying you're not human then yes that's exactly what I think
@Manlyman Physiques what if this song is talking about what they all been through
I am the whisper in the dark I am the scream when you fall - Michael barnes
I love this song is so sinister and dark!!
thats when red is at there best. I wish they would ditch the poppy radio songs.
I haven’t listened to this song in a while.
Awesome song.
I find the ratio of likes to dislikes disturbing
Simply because they are not dark
@Elias Alcantara I blame the Hitler speech at the beginning lol
@Sean Hoops people might say Michael Barnes is Christian and that he has a Christian band but to me he sounds like an ex Satanist who found out Satan was evil
@Elias Alcantara I think its mostly just this album. They said they were at a bad point in their lives when they wrote it so the lyrics make sense. (That emotion at least made an amazing hard rock album)
fuck you
dude not ok
Back at ya
Interesting key this song is in. I like it!
Sinister key https://media.tenor.co/images/bd7dfefcfd775cf8cd75b8f84cea62f2/tenor.gif

Most epic song, love it!
I love this band.
me too !!! I'm going to sing "Yours Again", and "Mystery Of You" , tomorrow . I'm so excited !!! I love to sing and dance to Christian rock metal songs with power and passion for Jesus . I take that very seriously , and it is really fun , all at the same time . I can't wait !!
I mean song
Nice video
