Gang Of Youths - Still Unbeaten Life Lyrics
Lo and behold my doubt
Ball away like cold
Under graceless light
Now and before I pass
Like some old returning ghost
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
Lend to me your hallowed frame tonight
I will not lie
I will not loath
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...

Gang Of Youths Still Unbeaten Life Comments
The next supergroup
A man called Chris sent me this after chatting 3 hours on the phone together. He was from school, he remembered me but I couldn’t remember him. We still haven’t met but I play this song everyday thinking what if? ❤️
Just discovered this band while browsing the TV then, was mesmerised of this song played on MTV. They remind me of another band 'The National.' Love the soul of this song.
OMG! How did I miss this one from Gang of Youths, total surprise given most of their other songs, it's just beautiful, what a voice even when live, I can't stop listening to it. Eagerly awaiting your next album.
Lee H this is on the let me be clear ep.

Nice performance but it's not unplugged.
lo and behold my doubt
ball away like coal
under graceless light
now and before I pass
like some old returning ghost
lend to me your hallowed gaze tonight
pressed to the wakened walls
like some wayward kind
summoned by some hollow wasted mind
stark in my naked pose
with your arms upon my side
lend to me your hallowed frame tonight
I will not lie
I will not loathe
I will not waste any days I have left in my soul
I will stand
I will stand now in your might
I will not crash
I will not burn
and 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 interstate again
braved by your hearts 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 if from my coatless frame tonight
I will not trade
I will not toil
and I won't 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
rise, get up I'll sing you to life
let every breath in you defy
whatever's pulling you to god's own kingdom

Youre one of the only things stopping me from killing myself this year. I saw you live in melbourne a week ago and i never stopped crying the whole gig - you've saved my life countless times this year. At one point you looked in my general direction, but in that moment it felt like you looked directly at me and sung 'be brave'. And im trying. Thankyou. You cant tell how many lives youve touched and will continue to touch with your music. Thankyou. Thankyou so fucking much.
Dude we all get depressed we all want to end it sometime...pull your finger out of your ass fuck the haters and be you live love and change the world in a buetiful way.

Going to be the biggest band in the world soon! Well done guys, well done.
Yes!! Amazing live performance of one of my all time favs. Hope they play this in Sydney next month!!
You guys are absolute gold
Honestly.
It was a honour for the first time to be meeting you guys, being here on Unplugged. I was mesmerized and moved by your performance. They hasn't been a band, or collection of music, that has in essence changed my life as much yours. So as always my dears, best wishes for all the exciting things to come for you guys.
🙏❤️
I was lucky i was there. Simply the most magical thing i've seen live
Every now and again there is a song that just awakens you, this is it for me. Far out that was amazing and thats just watching while sitting in my car, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like in person <3
Noooo!!!! The hair's gone.
He can't look bad.
ME ENCANTAA
Beautiful...love the arrangement and his vocals are so good...this is on repeat!
Gave me goosebumps
You guys are one of the greatest things that happened to modern music! Can't wait to see you guys live again
