A coffin is a funerary box used in the display and containment of dead people – either for burial or cremation.
Contemporary North American English makes a distinction between "coffin" and "casket". A coffin is generally understood to denote a funerary box having six sides, and a casket, which generally denotes a four-sided (almost always rectangular) box.
First attested in English 1380, the word coffin derives from the Old French cofin, from Latin cophinus, which is the latinisation of the Greek κόφινος (kophinos), "basket". The earliest attested form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek ko-pi-na, written in Linear B syllabic script. Any box used to bury the dead in is a coffin. Use of the word "casket" in this sense began as a euphemism introduced by the undertaker's trade in North America; a "casket" was originally a box for jewelry. North Americans may draw a distinction between "coffins" and "caskets", using coffin to refer to a tapered hexagonal or octagonal (also considered to be anthropoidal in shape) box used for a burial and casket to refer to a rectangular burial box with a split lid used for viewing the deceased as seen in the picture above. Receptacles for cremated and cremulated human ashes (sometimes called cremains[citation needed] in North America) are called urns.

Genres: Drama,Take your crosses,
I'll live without them,
Standing wet in holy
rain.
When you were
baptized,
Ignored the problem,
That's when I watched
you seal your grave.
I tried to save you,
But let you drink the
pain,
A final song now we
both know.
So I'm not givin' up,
Won't let you suffocate
You find your hell is
home.
I don't owe you
anything,
You'll only die a dream
forgotten,
I've got my pride so
hear me sing,
I'll never let you steal
my coffin.
Words as weapons,
pierce into you,
So self-righteous, have
it your way,
I'm alive and now I'm
burning,
Say a prayer to end
today.
I tried to save you,
But let you drink the pain,
A final song now we
both know.
So I'm not givin' up,
Won't let you suffocate
You find your hell is
home.
I don't owe you
anything,
You'll only die a dream,
forgotten,
I've got my pride so
hear me sing,
I'll never let you steal
my coffin.
*Instrumental*
NEVER LET YOU STEAL
MY AFTERLIFE.
NEVER LET YOU STEAL
MY AFTER LIFE!
So I'm not givin' up,
Won't let you suffocate
You find your hell is
home.
I don't owe you
anything,
You'll only die a dream,
forgotten,
I've got my pride so
hear me sing,
I'll never let you steal
my coffin.
I don't owe you
anything,
You'll only die a dream,
forgotten,
I've got my pride so
hear me sing,
I'll never let you steal
