You have every kind of pleasure
The wicked world provides
Have you turned from the truth that's in ya
To seek the other sides

Soon there'll be a price to pay
You're headed that way
And when you arrive

Will you be dead or alive
In your struggle to survive
Either you'll be dead or alive
You're free to decide

If you knock on the gates of heaven
The Lord'll let you in
There's a space for the one who enters
No matter what the sin

Take the road that's straight and true
It's open to you and when you arrive

Will you be dead or alive
Do you realize
That you'll be dead or alive
No more compromise
Either you'll be dead or alive

Soon there'll be a price to pay
You're headed that way
And when you arrive
You could be dead or alive

Will you be dead or alive
There's no compromise
You're simply dead or alive
Yeah, you'll be dead or alive
Will you be dead or alive

Will you be dead or alive
There is no surprise
You're simply dead or alive
