| 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
|
| O Death, o Death
|
| Please spare me over just another year
|
| I’ll fix your feet so you can’t walk
|
| I’ll lock your jaw so you cannot talk
|
| I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see
|
| This very hour come and go with me
|
| «O Death», someone would say
|
| «Couldn't you call some other day?»
|
| God’s children prayed, the preacher preached
|
| Time and mercy are out of your reach
|
| O Death, o Death
|
| Please spare me over just another year
|
| My mother come to my bed
|
| Placed a cold towel upon my head
|
| My head is warm, my feet are cold
|
| Death is moving upon my soul
|
| O Death, o Death
|
| Please spare me over just another year
|
| 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
|
| O Death, o Death
|
| Please spare me over just another year
|
| O Death, o Death
|
| Please spare me over just another year |
