o death

O, Death
O, Death
Wont you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I cant see
With ice cold hands takin hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
Ill open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
Ill fix your feet til you cant walk
Ill lock your jaw til you cant talk
Ill close your eyes so you cant see
This very air, come and go with me
Im death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Wont you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin upon my soul
Oh, death how youre treatin me
Youve close my eyes so I cant see
Well youre hurtin my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please dont take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, death
O, death
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
