Letra da Música Death Be Not Proud de Attalus

Death be not proud though men will fear you
And think you grave when they draw near you
You take us down
We can't escape the fact
But I've learned by now your rite is just an act
So lay my bones inside the 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
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 cannot sum up my life
Beneath the tears
The wreathes. 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 anyway you choose
And shake the heavens with your smile
if my bones are worth your while
But this coffin's just a womb
thanks to the cross and empty tomb
God will get the final laugh
Death here he comes - your epitaph

I lay down my life to 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 to 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
You can't haunt me anymore
