Clarence told us his plans the other day
We will send the people except us and the nobles all away
The tower has been busy, with wizards quickening their pace
But I’m not in a hurry, I’m staying in my place
It takes and it takes and it takes and we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break we make mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m holding on when someone important is about to die
Then I’m going to live with it
I’m going to live with it
My parents sold me and my sister when we were kids
I escaped with her and had someone to be friends
Saved up all our money, in hope of bribing a wizard
Well the plan failed and left us nothing but a wish to survive
Life doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes and we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break we make mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m holding on when I can change nothing even I try
I’m willing to live with it
I’m willing to live with it
Live with it
My fate’s not something which I’m in control
Live with it
I am not special my death is inevitable
Live with it
Frozen butterflies’ haunt us day and night
Live with it
We needed a change if we want to live
My sister faces a deadly sacrifice
She has something to hope, she has nothing to mope
My friend, however, is on the other side
Please let him live through all losts
Death never hesitates
It takes and it takes and it takes and it takes and it takes and it keeps winning anyway
Makes us afraid, laughs as we stare it in the face
And if there’s a reason it’s gonna thrive and no one survive
Then god damn it I’m willing to live with it
I’m willing to live with it
Life doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints
And it takes and it takes and it takes
We rise and we fall
And if there’s a reason I’m holding on when I know what my destiny is like
Then I’m willing to
Live with it
