Still Unbeaten Life (MTV Unplugged Live in Melbourne)

Lyrics

Lo, and behold my doubt
 Ball away like cold
 Under graceless light
 Now and before I pass
 Like some old returning ghost
 Lend to me your hallowed gaze tonight
 Pressed to the wakin' walls
 Like some wayward kind
 Summoned by some hollow, wasted mind
 Stark in my naked pose
 With your arms upon my sides
 Lend to me your hallowed frame tonight
 I will not lie
 I will not loath
 I will not waste any days I have left in my soul
 But I will stand
 I will stand now in your might
 I will not crash
 I will not burn
 But I will pay any debt to your hands that I owe
 For your still
 Your still unbeaten life
 Now that I'm nought for one
 And my blood is red
 Flowing from the inter-state again
 Braved by your heart's resolve
 And my body's endless toil
 Lead me in your hallowed sway to bed
 Slow, slight
 Close and inspired
 You spark some great fire
 And hang it from my coatless frame tonight
 I will not trade, I will not toil
 I will not stray from this bed
 I will not stray from this soil
 Until my bones, my bones lay with it all
 I will not raise forgotten flags
 But I will step to the hill with your name in my cap
 For your still, your still unbeaten life
 Your still, your still unbeaten life, oh
 Your still, your still unbeaten life
 Rise
 Get up, I'll sing you to life
 Let every breath in you defy
 Whatever's pullin' you to God's own kingdom
 And here's to sticking fingers in our ears
 They said we'd have a couple years
 You're dead on paper, but hey we're still here
 Flash the wicked bumps with killer stares
 Say "I'm not fighting you for air
 Don't call me dead, 'cause hey, I'm still here"
 Fight, like every breath in you's a strike
 From some great fighter in the sky
 Oh, and breathe abundantly tonight
 Dance atop the grave that has your name
 For what it's worth, I'll do the same
 Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
