Lyrics

What Doesn't Die

[Verse 1]

First in, last out, overthrown

It's been picked clean to the bone

And so hard to remember things

Like when we used to kill our kings

Crusading for hypocrisy

Under our nose the holy bleed

Crumbling under its own weight

Apologies if you relate

[Chorus]

'Cause you cannot kill

What doesn't die

Live up to my promise

My full potential realised

[Verse 2]

Death lives right inside your pocket

Take him out and have a laugh

Go and piss your life away

Another ugly waste of clay

And up above there's no-one home

Why don't you answer your phone?

Reminding me to learn that poem

First in, last out, overthrown

[Chorus]

Because you cannot kill

What doesn't die

Live up to my promise

My full potential realised

You cannot kill

What doesn't die

Live up to my promise

My full potential realised

[Bridge]

A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood

Stem this tide of violence as it rises like a flood

[Guitar Solo: Rob Caggiano]

[Bridge]

A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood

Stem this tide of violence as it rises like a flood

A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood

Stem this tide of violence as it rises like a flood

A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood

(What doesn't die)

Stem this tide of violence as it rises like a flood

A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood

(What doesn't die)

Stem this tide of violence as it rises like a flood

[Chorus]

You cannot kill

What doesn't die

Live up to my promise

My full potential realised

You cannot kill

What doesn't die

Live up to my promise

My full potential realised
