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 deathoh-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 feelit 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
