lyrics
Death you keep me alive
Starring at the back of my head
Always there by my side
Ever since I took my first breath
Now there was a time
In my youth
When I would look at you
And want to run away
But not this year
Not this time
I stand before you unafraid
And maybe not today
And maybe not tomorrow
But one day and one day soon
A lights gonna be thrown
On all of this
From the gods in the heavens
To the moles in the ground
Death you keep me alive
Starring at the back of my head
Always there by my side
Ever since I took my first breath
Now there was a time
In my youth
When I would look at you
And want to run away
But not this year
Not this time
I stand before you unafraid
And maybe not today
And maybe not tomorrow
But one day and one day soon
A lights gonna be thrown
On all of this
From the gods in the heavens
To the moles in the ground
Death you keep me alive
