Dylan Thomas
And Death Shall Have No Dominion
[Verse 1]
And death shall have no dominion
Deadman naked shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone
My lifestyle got elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not

[Chorus]
And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion

[Verse 2]
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up, they shan't crack;

[Chorus]
And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion
[Verse 3]
And death shall have no dominion
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down

[Chorus]
And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion
