R.k. on death lyrics

Artist  : Our lady peace 
Song : R.k. on death
 
Take death for example. 
A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it.

We make extraordinary efforts to delay it and
often consider 
its intrusion a tragic event. 
Yet we'd find it hard to live without it. 
Death gives meaning to our lives. It 
gives importance and value to time. 
Time would become meaningless if there were too
much of it.
If death were indefinitely put off, the human
psyche would end 
up, well, like the gambler in the "Twilight Zone"
episode.
