Lyrics Still Unbeaten Life - Gang of Youths

Still Unbeaten Life

Lo and behold my doubt
Ball away like cold
Under graceless light
Now and before I pass
Like some old returning ghost
Lend to me your hallowed gaze tonight
Pressed to the wakin' walls
Like some wayward kind
Summoned by some hollow, wasted mind
Stark in my naked pose
With your arms upon my sides
(Ooh)
Lend to me your hallowed frame tonight
I will not lie
I will not loath
I will not waste any days I have left in my soul
But I will stand
I will stand now in your might
I will not crash
I will not burn
But I will pay any debt to your hands that I owe
For your still
Your still unbeaten life
Now that I’m nought for one
And my blood is red
Flowing from the innerstate again
Braved by your heart’s resolve
And my body’s endless toil
Lead me in your hallowed sway to bed
Slow, slight
Close and inspired
You spark some great fire
And hang it from my coatless frame tonight
I will not trade, I will not toil
I will not stray from this bed
I will not stray from this soil
Until my bones, my bones lay with it all
I will not raise forgotten flags
But I will step to the hill with your name in my cap
For your still, your still unbeaten life
Your still, your still unbeaten life, oh
Your still, your still unbeaten life
Rise
Get up, I’ll sing you to life
Let every breath in you defy
Whatever’s pullin' you to God’s own kingdom
And here’s to sticking fingers in our ears
They said we’d have a couple years
You’re dead on paper, but hey we’re still here
Flash the wicked bumps with killer stares
Say «I'm not fighting you for air
Don’t call me dead, ‘cause hey, I’m still here»
Fight, like every breath in you’s a strike
From some great fighter in the sky
Oh, and breathe abundantly tonight
Dance atop the grave that has your name
For what it’s worth, I’ll do the same
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
