Oh, Death |
| 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 |
