Live in Life Lyrics

He died

Holding four kings and an ace

The smell of foreign wine

and faint smile on his face

Hushed words

Could be barely overheard

To go so shamelessly, oh what a waste

But then a girl in black

Took the wake aback

When she spoke up with an oddly cheerful grin

It seems your friend

Has found a happy end

Is enjoying every day such a sin?

After all, you've got to

Live in life, and leave the dying to the dead

If your flame is burning strong,

Why watch the shadows on the wall instead of

Living life without regret,

So you can see what lies beyond

The border when you're gone

She died

Skin stretched thin across her bones

With shelves of medicine

To stop the agonizing groans

Each cent

And precious second spent

Trying desperately to stave off the unknown

When the director saw

This duel with natural laws

She seemed both disappointed and amused

Why sell your soul

For such a futile goal

It's a battle that you're destined to lose

After all, you've got to

Live in life, and leave the dying to the dead

'Cause you can't outrun the wind

You'll just be running out of breath instead of

Living life without regret

so you can see what lies beyond

The border when you're gone

Death has no favorite child

He visits those who wait

And he visits those who ought to have a while

But fighting fate has a price

Disturbing the order of things

Means you need to make a sacrifice

"In the end, you've got to

Live in life, and leave the dying to the dead

What's the point of sinking down in dread and losing hope

When you could go and keep on

Living life without regret

So you can see what lies beyond

The border when you're

Gone is gone, so make the most of what you've got

You should have a little fun

Before your body turns to rot, so go and

Live your life without regrets

Or you won't see what lies beyond

The border when you're gone
