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 Oh-oh death, oh-oh-oh death, Can't you spare me over till 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 Oh ma-ma 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
