O Death, O Death
Won’t you spare me over ’til another year?
Well what is this that I can’t 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?
