Love of Life Lyrics

[Refrain]
For the love of life (For the love of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)

[Verse 1]
In the light of life (In the light of life)
For the love of light (For the love of light)
And the strong survive (And the strong survive)
For the love of life (For the love of life)
And the strong will rise (And the strong will rise)
In the endless light (In the endless light)
For the blood of life (For the blood of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)
In the bloodless light (In the bloodless light)
For the love of life (For the love of life)
In the blood is light (In the blood is light)
In the light is life (In the light is life)

[Refrain]
For the love of life (For the love of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)

[Verse 2]
In the endless light (In the endless light)
For the blood of life (For the blood of life)
Now the strong will rise (Now the strong will rise)
For the love of light (For the love of light)
In the bloodless light (In the bloodless light)
Now the strong survive (Now the strong survive)
For the love of life (For the love of life)
For the blood of life (For the blood of life)
And the heavens come (And the heavens come)
For the strongest ones (For the strongest ones)
In a universe (In a universe)
Made of blood and love (Made of blood and love)
In the blood is light (In the blood is light)
In the light is life (In the light is life)

[Refrain]
For the love of life (For the love of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)

[Outro]
In the endless light (In the endless light)
For the blood of life (For the blood of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)
In the endless light (In the endless light)
For the blood of life (For the blood of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)
For the love of life (For the love of life)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Survival of the Fittest is out of what is philosophically called Love of Life.
