[00:02.16]What is this that I can't see
[00:03.57]With icy hands taking hold on me
[00:08.88]I am death and none can excel
[00:11.73]I'll open the doors to heaven or hell
[00:13.77](CHORUS)
[00:18.12]Oh. death, oh, death, can 't you spare me over till another year?
[00:29.46]Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year

[00:37.32]Oh. death, someone would pray
[00:39.96]Couldn’t you call some other day
[00:44.46]God's children prayed. the preacher's preached
[00:47.40]The time of mercy is out of your reach
[00:52.05]I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
[00:54.72]I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk, Close your eyes so you can 't see
[01:01.77]This very hour come go with me
[01:06.63]Death, I come to take the soul
[01:09.45]Leave the body and leave it cold, To drop the flesh oft of the frame

[01:50.46]Death is moving upon my soul
[01:53.22]Oh, death, how you treating me Close my eyes so I can 't see

[02:12.06](Verse 4)
[02:16.02]Oh, death, please consider my age
[02:32.04]Please don 't take me at this stage
[02:37.14]My wealth is all at your command
[02:38.76]If you will move your icy hand
[02:43.44]The old, the young, the rich or poor
[02:45.54]Are all alike with me, you know
[02:49.86]No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
[02:52.59]Nothing satisfies me but your soul
[03:11.82](CHORUS)
