Death Shall Have No Dominion Lyrics
The stars of heaven are steady
The founded hills remain
Though I to earth and darkness
Return in blood and pain
Leave me now in peace
For I have known the sorrow
Of a thousand knives
And hope for no tomorrow
Let this be my will
To end the suffering
Towards a brighter place
Where the angels sing
When I close my eyes
Come forth my demons
Into darkness we subside
Where misery preside
Hear me now
When I am lost
In my darkest moment
A touch of the divine
When will the pain
Bestowed on me
Finally set me free
The road grows dim
Before my eyes
A touch of the divine
All hope is gone!
Hear me now
When I am lost
In my darkest moment
A touch of the divine
Hear me now
When I am lost
In my darkest moment
A touch of the divine
End the suffering
Though I to earth and darkness
Return in blood and pain
The founded hills remain
Though I to earth and darkness
Return in blood and pain
For I have known the sorrow
Of a thousand knives
And hope for no tomorrow
Let this be my will
To end the suffering
Towards a brighter place
Where the angels sing
Come forth my demons
Into darkness we subside
Where misery preside
When I am lost
In my darkest moment
A touch of the divine
Bestowed on me
Finally set me free
The road grows dim
Before my eyes
A touch of the divine
All hope is gone!
When I am lost
In my darkest moment
A touch of the divine
When I am lost
In my darkest moment
A touch of the divine
Though I to earth and darkness
Return in blood and pain

Guitarist Harrold Barrett says of this song; "Just when you might have thought that you knew what to expect, we turn around and give you a new single. And not any kind of single. I honestly don’t think there has ever been a more extreme track coming from this band. We want to show you that The Black goes deeper and darker than you could ever imagine, and we intend to take you there with us.”
"And Death Shall Have No Dominion” is a lyrical poem by Welsh writer Dylan Thomas that explores themes of death, the afterlife, and funerals. This to from reading it sounds like the inspiration for the song of course also based on the title.
