O Death

Lyrics: SAM POPE/Jonny Stewart/Luke G Taylor/Robert Waters/Sebastian Payne Music: SAM POPE/Jonny Stewart/Luke G Taylor/Robert Waters/Sebastian Payne O Death O Death O Death, spare me over another year
Now, what is this that I can't see? With ice-cold hands taking hold of me For I am Death, none can excel I'll open the door to Heaven or Hell
O 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
O Death O Death O Death, spare me over another year
I'll fix your feet so 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
Death, I come to take the soul Leave the body and leave it cold To drop the flesh off of the frame Dirt and worm both have a claim
O Death O Death O Death, won’t you spare me over another year
Oh, the young, the rich, or poor All alike, me, you know No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul
