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
