This world is half the devil's and my own, Daft with the drug that's smoking in a girl and curling round the bud that forks her eye.

Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion.

Though they go mad they shall be sane, though they sink through the sea they shall rise again though lovers be lost love shall not and death shall have no dominion.
