Lyrics:
Ben Christo

Was it a joke?
He’ll play the past again
Deny the thing he’s become
Stutter and choke,
Into the glass again
A final kiss to no-one.

And when the night time unfurls
He’ll close his eyes and whisper the words:

“Is there still life to die for?”
He gave his heart, he gave his soul, was it for nothing?
Still life to die for.
He played the part, he took the fall, was it for nothing?

Colour of cold,
She’ll flicker out of grace,
Forget the song she’s begun.
Was it foretold?
She’ll cry the ink again,
The final wish of no-one.

And when the night time unfurls
She’ll close her eyes and whisper the words,
And when the night time unfurls
She’ll close her eyes and scream out the words:

“Is there still life to die for?”
She gave her heart, she gave her soul, was it for nothing?
Still life to die for.
She played the part, she took the fall, was it for nothing?

“Is there still life to die for?”
Betray your heart, betray your soul, it’s all for nothing
Still life to die for.
Erase your heart, erase your soul, embrace the nothing.
