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?
