What is this that I can't see?
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well, I am Death, none can excel
I'll open the door to Heaven or Hell
Whoa, Death, someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
Humanity prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of reach
I'll fix your feet 'til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour, come and go with me
I am Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up flesh off the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
♪
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
I'll fix your feet 'til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour, come and go with me
I am Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up flesh off the frame
Dirt and worm both have their claim
O, Death
♪
Well, you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run the life right outta my soul
♪
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
♪
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
O, Death, spare me over 'til another year
