Conversations with Death

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 (I'll fix your feet so you can't walk) (I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk) (Close your eyes so you can't see) (This very hour, come and go with me) (O Death, I come take the soul) (Leave the body and leave it cold)
