Текст песни
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 agonising 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 favourite 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
