This passion takes you to the strangest places
It’s hard to trace it from the start

Fear’s no reason to be complacent
You discover your soul when you open up your heart

Pounding drums and cries for mercy
Pierce these dreams right through your chest
As things go numb you see the clearing
December calls again and again

A life worth living is a life to die for
The thunder breaks before the end
I see you smiling as you close your eyes
There’s no time for goodbyes
There’s no time for goodbyes

When you left this world we were worlds apart
The great awake distressed my heart

Bound by the underworld and covered up in gold
The good die young but their memories grow old

Pounding drums and cries for mercy
Pierce these dreams right through your chest
As things go numb you see the clearing
December calls again and again

A life worth living is a life to die for
The thunder breaks before the end
I see you smiling as you close your eyes
There’s no time for goodbyes
There's no time for goodbyes

You’ve always lived for the life you wrote and now
I’m living life and reaching heights for you
Can you see me now you’re free
Are you looking down on me

A life worth living is a life to die for
The thunder breaks before the end
I see you smiling as you close your eyes
There’s no time for goodbyes
There's no time for goodbyes
