Oh Death

歌詞

What is this that I can see Taking hold on me with icy hands I am death and none can excel I'll open the doors to Heaven or Hell Oh death, oh death, can't you spare me over til another year? Oh death, oh death, please spare me over til another year Oh death, someone would pray Couldn't you call some other day? God's children's prayed, the preachers preached The time of mercy your reach I'll fix your feet so you can't walk I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk Close your eyes so you can't see This very hour come go with me Death, I come to take the soul Leave the body and leave it cold To drop the flesh off of the frame The earth and worms both have a claim Oh death, oh death, can't you spare me over til another year? Oh death, oh death, please spare me over til another year My mother come to my bed Place a cold towel upon my head My head is warm, my feet is cold Death is moving upon my soul Oh death, how you treating me Close my eyes so I can't see You hurt my body, you make me cold You're ruling the life right out of my soul Oh death, oh death, can't you spare me over til another year? Oh death, oh death, please spare me over til another year Oh death, please consider my age Please don't take me at this stage My wealth is all at your command If you will move your icy hand Old, the young, the rich or poor All alike with me, you know No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul Oh death, oh death, can't you spare me over til another year? Oh death, oh death, please spare me over til another year
