When I ran from the hounds of hell
Twist my foot, I nearly fell
I was lucky I was alive
One look back I could have died
{chorus}
I was the sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Solitary fighter [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/asia/sole_survivor.html ]
When I saw it I was amazed
One time glory right in my gaze
I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy
Right in the darkness none could destroy
{chorus}
And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire, I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end
It probably means that u barely survived something... Maybe... A battle[war] or maybe a fight with ur friends[maybe ur friend was choking u or something]
