And death shall have no dominion
Deadman naked shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone
My lifestyle got 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

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 'til the sun breaks down

And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion
