Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well, what is this that I can't see?
With ice cold hands taking hold of me
Well I am death none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Everybody's looking, trying to find a way out
See them seeing every day what this world's all about
You're realizing that it's hard trying to pick the right path
There's poor people, poor streets inside the neighborhood mass
Bearing scars of the past they keep trying to escape
Destiny within their eyes, these are the tears of our fate
All these numbers of our lives, we keep trying to equate
That got us living everyday, we're in search of that gate praying
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Oh Death, someone would pray
Won't you come and call me another day?
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
Lo and behold the pale horse
And the rider who decides the fate of one who made a failed choice
With a tail off behind it, it trails off in a fire
Spark those who don't know they're stuck on a stale course
Yeah, we all face death when it comes to take your breath
Usually without knowing how many days are left
Some raise their chest, others cower when it comes
Whether you're living in the towers or down in the slums
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well I'll fix your feet 'til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw 'til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes 'til you can't see
This very hour come and go with me
Praying heaven's coming, praying it doesn't come late
This is for real man, this is how I'm pushin' my pain
When ash is always falling in death's rain
It's cold outside, death look me in my eyes
Hold to these plans, man we gotta be wise
Pull through together 'cause then they will rise
I'm saying peace for all my people that can see through the lies
And can la-la-la, briefs running up her thighs while she's singing
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
I'm death I've come to take the soul
To leave the body and leave it cold
Draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
Take a moment to reflect on
Think of all the things in your life that you slept on
Will slip through your fingers like teflon
'Cause you lost your focus, instead he's thinking about the next join
Saying that the next dawn you'd make things better
But you didn't get a chance to make your reparation
Better make some preparations, but if you're not ready yet
Death comes for all of us my friends, so you better get
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
