O Death Lyrics by Kate Mann

0

[Intro]
What is this? I can't see with ice cold hands takin' hold of me
I am Death come to excel, I'll open the door to heaven or hell
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

[Verse 1]
"O, Death," someone would say, "could you wait to come 'til another day?"
The children pray, the preacher preach, time and mercy are out of your reach
I'll fix your legs 'til you can't walk, I'll lock your jaw 'til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes 'til you can see the very air come and go with me
I am Death, come to take the soul, leave the body and leave it cold
Draw the flesh above the frame; earth and worm both have a claim

[Refrain]
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

[Verse 2]
My mother came to my bed, placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold, Death's a'movin' upon my soul
O, Death how you're treatin' me, you close my eyes 'til I can't see
You hurt my body, you leave me could, you pull the life right outta my soul

[Refrain]
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

[Verse 3]
O, Death, consider my age, please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all is all at your command if you will move your icy hand
The old, the young, the rich, the poor, they're all alike to me you know
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold, nothin' satisfies but your soul

[Refrain]
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
O, Death; o, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Spare me over 'til another year
Spare me over 'til another year

[Instrumental Outro]
