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
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
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...

    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
    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
    fight like every breath in you's a strike
    from some great fighter in the sky
    and breath abundantly tonight


    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"
    and dance atop the grave that has your name
    for what it's worth, I'll do the same

    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.
