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”Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
