O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well what is this that I can see? With ice cold hands taking hold of me. When God is gone and the Devil takes hold. Who'll have mercy on my soul? O Death, O Death, consider my age. Please don't take me at this stage.
O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
O, I am Death, and none can tell. If I open the door to heaven or hell. No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold. Nothing satisfies me but your soul. O Death, I come to take the soul. Leave the body and leave it cold.
O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
