Lyrics

Uncle Bobby

[Verse 1]

Knowledge came and devastated

Pressure building behind her eyes

Breathing buried under the weight

Will she, has she died also this day

[Chorus]

Her death has been swallowed up by life

This dead will rise

Dying to death and raising to life

[Verse 2]

The moment we became alive death was waiting, chasing

And all of us fell and kept breathing

One day, today

A sprits alive, a body has died

[Chorus]

And death has been swallowed up by life

This dead will rise

Dying to death and raising to life

With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry

Death has been swallowed up by life

This dead will rise

[Bridge]

In the middle of

All the business

A call to be still

Multitude of words

Quiet be still

[Chorus]

And death has been swallowed up by life

This dead will rise

Dying to death and raising to life

With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry

Death has been swallowed up by life

This dead will rise

Oh rise, oh rise

Rise, oh rise
