Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said my fate was sealed
You said my days were numbered
Case closed with no appeal
My future's six feet under
Messing with my head in ghost fashion
My heart was holding its breath (Holding my breath)
Terrified of taking my last one
Oh, death, you scared me to death
[PreChorus]
Whoa-oh-oh
You ain't my King though
Whoa-oh-oh
Where did your sting go?
[Chorus]
Oh, death, I will not be afraid
In the end, you will lose
I will dance on your grave
With the One who buried you
You ain't nothin' but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh, death, you are dead to me
Oh, death, you are dead to me
[Verse 2]
My faith don't flinch at your wrath
Devil, go on, get off of my shoulder
You thought you had the last laugh
You thought this song was over
[PreChorus]
Whoa-oh-oh
You ain't my King though
Whoa-oh-oh
Where did your sting go?
[Chorus]
Oh, death, I will not be afraid
In the end, you will lose
I will dance on your grave
With the One who buried you
You ain't nothin' but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh, death, you are dead to me (Hey)
Oh, death, you are dead to me
[Bridge]
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I'm just passing through, oh
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I'm just passing through
[Chorus]
Oh, death, I will not be afraid
In the end, you will lose
I will dance on your grave
With the One who buried you
You ain't nothin' but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh, death, you are dead to me
[Chorus]
I will not be afraid
In the end, you will lose
I will dance on your grave
With the One who buried you
You ain't nothin' but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh, death, you are dead to me
[Outro]
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I'm just passing through, oh
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I'm just passing through
Oh, death, you are dead to me
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I'm just passing through
Oh, death, you are dead to me
