ALL THINGS DEAD ARE FOREVER GONE

See the mayfly’s flashing colours
As the river flows towards the sea
One day fits so perfectly

What if you had a diamond
The only one in the world?
Would you keep it to yourself
Like a clam with a pearl?

Just one life is given
Your only shot at heaven
Just one chance to tell someone
How you feel about them
How you need and love them
For all things dead are forever gone

Rarity makes everything precious
Nothing bankrupts like eternity
Time is finite
Otherwise it would just be worthless

All the people that compose your life
The words that write your song
What if they were gone?

Tomorrow’s not promised
It’s a suggestion we make
Everything left till later
Is a risk that we take

Just one life is given
Your only shot at heaven
Just one chance to tell someone
How you feel about them
How you need and love them
For all things dead are forever gone

Rarity makes everything precious
Nothing bankrupts like eternity
Time is finite
Otherwise it would just be worthless

Rarity makes everything precious
Nothing bankrupts like eternity
Time is finite
Otherwise it would just be worthless

Look up, look down, look sharp
The clock is ticking
Counting us down
Measuring our span
And there’s one clock per person
Everyone’s is different
And you can’t pick your moment
The moment picks the man

Picture the scene
A swamp in the Cretaceous
A dinosaur looks up
Then blimey goodness gracious
Wham bam you’re damned
Chance is such a mystery
And you can’t write the future
When you’re history

We are holding an hourglass
Watching the sand run away
But the passing of each grain
Makes us richer each day

Just one life is given
Your only shot at heaven
Just one chance to tell someone
How you feel about them
How you need and love them
For all things dead are forever gone

Rarity makes everything precious
Nothing bankrupts like eternity
Time is finite
Otherwise it would just be worthless

Rarity makes everything precious
Nothing bankrupts like eternity
Time is finite
Otherwise it would just be worthless

(What a performance
What a performance
What a performance
Please take a bow)
