So would you tell me now
Are life and death a symmetry
Balanced on scales

Neither side chosen
And could these moments
Balance out against eternity

Promise inferred
Words never spoken


My life is burning
Could you read by the light
Letters I've written

Never to follow
Poets and madmen
All defy reason

Still in my mind I know

I want to live my life with you

Dying hard
Play my whole hand until it's through
Dying hard


And in your arctic night
You contemplate eternity

Walking on water
Frozen in silence
And in that moment would you

Turn around and turn to me
Laughing away night's darker tyrants


My life is burning
Could you read by the light
Letters I've written

Never to follow
Poets and madmen
All defy reason

Still in my mind I know

I want to live my life with you

Dying hard
Play in my whole hand until it's through
Dying hard


Some nights I spend alone inside my head
But it's better than losing it

And if you want to turn your life around
It's your life you're choosing it


I want to spend my life with you
Dying hard
Play the whole hand until it's through

Dying hard
