Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, yeah
[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
[Verse 2]
Messing with my head in ghost fashion
My heart was holding its breath
Hold my breath
Terrified of taking my last one
Oh Death, you scared me to death
[PreChorus]
Oh, you ain't my King though
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 nothing 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 3]
So 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]
Oh, you ain't my King though, no
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 nothing 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
[Bridge]
Come on
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I'm just passing through
Oh, yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
Oh Death
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 nothing 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 nothing but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh Death, you are dead to me
[Outro]
Yeah, 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
Yeah, 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
Yeah, 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
