Lyrics:
All our lives we've been afraid\\nWatching the world decline till nothing remains\\nBut in our darkest hour, right before the dawn\\nThe old world dies, the new day is born\\n\nWe're gonna live like it's our last night alive\\nAnd we're dancing till the morning light\\nAnd even if the sun don't rise\\nIn the end, only love survives\\n\nSo be love, be love\\nJust be love (just be love), only love (only love)\\nWe are love (we are love), only love (only love)\\nAnd when the stars are aligned, you got to make love a state of mind\\n'Cause in the end only love survives\\n\nSo let the world collide, don't be afraid\\nIf it's the end of time, love will remain\\n\nTo live like it's the last night alive\\nAnd we're dancing till the morning light\\nAnd even if the sun don't rise\\nIn the end, only love survives\\n\nSo be love, be love\\nJust be love (just be love), only love (only love)\\nWe are love (we are love), only love (only love)\\nAnd when the stars are aligned you got to make love a state of mind\\n'Cause in the end, only love survives\\n\nSo be love (be love), only love, love, love\\n(Be love, only love) Only love, love, love\\n('Cause in the end) Only love survives
Ireland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Only Love Survives" written by Wez Devine and Ryan Dolan. The song was performed by Ryan Dolan. The Irish broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) organised the national final Eurosong 2013 in order to select the Irish entry for the 2013 contest in Malmö, Sweden. Five songs faced the votes of five regional juries and a public televote, ultimately resulting in the selection of "Only Love Survives" performed by Ryan Dolan as the Irish Eurovision entry. Ireland was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2013. Performing during the show in position 13, "Only Love Survives" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that Ireland placed eighth out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 54 points. In the final, Ireland performed as the closing entry during the show in position 26 and placed twenty-sixth (last) out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 5 points.
