[Intro] C5 C5 B5 E5 G5 A5 C5 B5 E5 G5 A5 C5 B5 [Verse 1]
    C5                G5
The quickening is an ephemeral thing

          B5
That only happens in the dark

               C5
Like catching lightning in a jar

        E5
And the pain that it brings

            D5
Is just the promise of spring

     C5
It's madness on the wing

    D5
Oh, what does it mean...
[Refrain]
         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive?

         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive!
[Verse 2]
    C5                     G5
The entering is soulful conjecturing

             B5
Oh, lost and by the wind-grieved ghost

            C5
Please come back to me again

            E5
Because the way that she bleeds

          D5
Is in the law that he reads

    C5
Confusing words and deeds

   D5
So what does it mean...
[Refrain]
         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive?

         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive!
[Bridge]
              C5                     E5
To pierce the vein of the sacred and profane

     A5             B5           C5
Poor science in the service of a faith

              D5
But, who will bear the mark of Cain?
[Guitar Solo] E5 G5 A5 C5 B5 E5 G5 A5 C5 B5 [Refrain]
         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive?

         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive!

         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive?

         E5             G5             A5    C5 B5
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive!
