Lyrics

What is this, that I can see?
Icey hands takin' hold of me
"Oh my name is Death, none can excel
Hold the keys to Heaven or Hell"
Oh, Death
Whoa, Death
Spare me over till another year
Oh now Death, consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
Know I am young and full of sin
My poor life did just begin
"Oh now Death", someone might pray
"Please come back another day"
God's children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy was outta my reach
Oh, Death
Whoa, Death
Spare me over till another year
I'm Death, I've come to take your soul
From your body and leave it cold
I'll bridle your tongue 'fore you can talk
Loosen your limbs till you can't walk
The rich, the young, the poor, the old
They're all the same to me, you know
I don't need your silver or gold
Nothin' satisfies me but your soul
Oh, Death
Whoa, Death
Spare me over till another year
Oh, Death
Whoa, Death
Spare me over till another year
Woo!
