lyrics

Is it only life
That I have seen
Through sleep encrusted eyes
It’s only life that stares at me

Is it only life
That brightens up
The deep and darkest night
Is it only life

So life it finally turns to life
The greatest mystery you’ll find
Through broken dreams
An island frozen drifting down through time

Is it only life
That terrifies
The lost and lonely child
Who wakes in fear from his dream

Is it only life
That hides it’s teeth
And shows the paralysed
A pack of lies

Call it a night
And hoist the sails
Ship out to paradise
Too hard to pay the asking price

So bid goodbye
To all this jungle’s lies
And fantasise
It’s only life

So life it finally turns to life
The greatest mystery you’ll find
Through broken dreams
An island frozen drifting down through time
An island frozen drifting down through time
An island frozen drifting down through time
