O Death

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What is this that I can't see With icy hands taking hold on me? I am Death, no one can tell I'll open the doors to Heaven or Hell [Chorus] O Death O Death Please spare me over just another year [Verse 2] I'll fix your feet so you can't walk I'll lock your jaw so you cannot talk Close your eyes so you can't see This very hour come and go with me [Verse 3] "O Death," someone would say "Couldn't you call some other day?" God's children pray, the preacher preach Time and mercy are outta your reach [Chorus] O Death O Death Please spare me over just another year [Verse 4] My mother, come to my bed Place a cold towel upon my head My head is warm, my feet are cold Death is moving upon my soul [Chorus] O Death O Death Please spare me over just another year [Verse 5] O 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 [Chorus] O Death O Death Please spare me over just another year O Death O Death Please spare me over just another year
