Attalus - Death be not proud

^C#mDeath be not proud ^C#mThough men may fear you ^AAnd think you great ^AWhen they draw near you ^C#m'Cause you take us down ^C#mWe can't escape the fact ^ABut I've learned by now ^AYour rite is just an act ^C#mSo lay my bones inside the hearse ^C#mTake me in and do your worst ^ABut tell me why you choose to boast ^AYou're just a shadow and a ghost ^C#mI'll breathe again you'll be surprised ^C#mWhen you're the only one who dies ^ADeath be not proud ^AYou'll soon find out

^EYou're not the end ^EYou're just the start of me ^ABeneath my skin ^AIs the real heart of me ^G#mSo don't pretend ^G#mThat you can keep me locked forever in y^Bour gras^B7p ^EBut you're just a ship ^ESunk on the ocean floor ^G#mYour flag was stripped ^G#mWhen you hit heaven's shore ^C#mSo close your grip ^C#mBut the only thing you'll ever hold is dust and ^Aash ^ADeath be not proud of that

^C#mDates on a stone ^C#mThey're just an alibi ^AA simple line ^AIt can't sum up my life

^C#mBeneath the tears ^C#mThe wreaths, the letters, and the roses ^AGod composes a new life ^AAs the old one decomposes

^C#mSo come on death, I've got your dues ^C#mTake them any way you choose ^AAnd shake the heavens with your smile ^AIf my bones are worth your while ^C#mBut this coffin's just a womb ^C#mThanks to the cross and empty tomb ^AMy God will get the final laugh ^ADeath, here He comes! Your epitaph!

^EYou're not the end ^EYou're just the start of me ^ABeneath my skin ^AIs the real heart of me ^G#mSo don't pretend ^G#mThat you can keep me locked forever in y^Bour gras^B7p ^EYou're just a ship ^ESunk on the ocean floor ^G#mYour flag was stripped ^G#mWhen you hit heaven's shore ^C#mSo close your grip ^C#mBut the only thing you'll ever hold is dust and ash ^ADeath be not proud! ^AYou set me free at last!

^ALay down my life ^AAnd find it again ^C#mDust turns to dust ^C#mBut my heart and soul ascend ^AGod bless the path ^AThat leads me through life's shallow end^{C#m A}I lay down my life ^AAnd find it at last ^C#mDust turns to dust ^C#mBut I escape this shipwrecked mast ^AGod bless the call ^AThat drowns the voices from my p^C#mast ^ALay down my life ^AAnd find it anew ^C#mJoy turns to joy ^C#mAt the thought of breaking through ^AGod bless the pain ^AThat makes me desperate for your^C#m view ^ADeath be not proud ^AWhat are you boasting for? ^C#mThanks be to God ^C#mYour walls are just an open door ^AGod bless the place ^AWhere you can't haunt me anymore
