[Verse 1]

What is this, that I can see?

Icey hands takin' hold of me

"Oh my name is Death, none can excel

Hold the keys to Heaven or Hell"

[Chorus]

Oh, Death

Whoa, Death

Spare me over till another year

[Verse 2]

Oh now Death, consider my age

Please don't take me at this stage

Know I am young and full of sin

My poor life did just begin

[Verse 3]

"Oh now Death", someone might pray

"Please come back another day"

God's children prayed, the preacher preached

Time and mercy was outta my reach

[Chorus]

Oh, Death

Whoa, Death

Spare me over till another year

[Verse 4]

I'm Death, I've come to take your soul

From your body and leave it cold

I'll bridle your tongue 'fore you can talk

Loosen your limbs till you can't walk

[Verse 5]

The rich, the young, the poor, the old

They're all the same to me, you know

I don't need your silver or gold

Nothin' satisfies me but your soul

[Chorus]

Oh, Death

Whoa, Death

Spare me over till another year

Oh, Death

Whoa, Death

Spare me over till another year

Woo!
