Death Be Not Proud Lyrics & Chords By Attalus

Death be not proud though men will fear you and think you grave when they draw near you 'cause you take us down and we can't escape the fact but I've learned by now your rite is just an act so lay my bones inside a hearse take me in and do your worst but, tell me why you choose to boast you're just a shadow and a ghost I'll breathe again, you'll be surprised when you're the only one who dies Death, be not proud you'll soon find out You're not the end You're just the start of me beneath my skin is the real heart of me so don't pretend that you can keep me locked forever in your grasp but you're just a ship sunk on the ocean floor your flag was stripped when you hit heaven's shore so close your grip but the only thing you'll ever hold is dust and ash Death be not proud of that dates on a stone they're just an alibi a simple line, it can't sum up my life beneath the tears the wreaths, the letters, and the roses God composes a new life as the old one decomposes So come on death, I've got your dues take them any way you choose and shake the heavens with your smile if my bones are worth your while but this coffin's just a womb my God will get the final laugh Death, here He comes - your epitaph! you're not the end you're just the start of me benath my skin is the real heart of me so don't pretend that you can keep me locked forever in your grasp you're just a ship sunk on the ocean floor your flag was stripped when you hit heaven's shore so close your grip but the only thing you'll ever hold is dust and ash Death be not proud, you set me free at last I lay down my life and find it again dust turns to dust but my heart and soul ascend God bless the path that leads me through life's shallow end I lay down my life and find it at last dust turns to dust but I escape this shipwrecked mast God bless the calm that drowns the voices from my past I lay down my life and find it anew joy turns to joy at the thought of breaking through God bless the pain that makes me desperate for the view Death be not proud what are you boasting for? thanks be to God your walls are just an open door God bless the place where you can't haunt me anymore Death be not proud what are you boasting for? thanks be to God your walls are just an open door God bless the place where you can't haunt me any more Lay my bones inside a hearse take me in and do your worst tell me why you choose to boast you're just a shadow and a ghost lay my bones inside the dirt take me in and do your worst in the end you'll be surprised when you're the only one who dies death be not proud death be not proud
