What Doesn't Die Lyrics - Anthrax

First in last out overthrown 

It's been picked clean to the bone 

And so hard to remember things 

Like when we used to kill our kings 

Crusading for hypocrisy 

Under our nose the holy bleed 

Crumbling under its own weight 

Apologies if you relate 

'Cause 

You cannot kill 

What doesn't die 

Live up to my promise 

My full potential realized 

Death lives right inside your pocket 

Take him out and have a laugh 

Go and piss your life away 

Another ugly waste of clay 

And up above there's no one home 

Why don't you answer your phone? 

Reminding me to learn that poem 

First in last out overthrown 

Because 

A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood 

Stem this tide of violence 

As it rises like a flood
