O Death

My name is death and I excel I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell Cast aside the flesh of the Cast aside and set you free [Chorus:] Oh, oh Death Oh, oh Death Can't you spare me over 'til another year Oh, oh Death Oh, oh Death Can't you spare me over 'til another year I lock their jaws so they can't talk Stiffen their legs so they can't walk Close their eyes so they can't see The chill you feel, it comes from me [Chorus] Oh Mama, Mama, come to my bed Place a cold rag on my head My eyes are aching and I cannot see I feel the sheet pulling over me [Chorus]
