And Death Shall Have No Dominion

Lyrics

And death shall have no dominion Dead men naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion And death shall have no dominion Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews give way Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two And the unicorn evils run them through; Split all ends up they shan't crack; And death shall have no dominion And death shall have no dominion No more may gulls cry at their ears Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may a flower no more Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Though they be mad and dead as nails Heads of the characters hammer through daisies; Break in the sun till the sun breaks down And death shall have no dominion
