My name is death and I excelI can open the gates to Heaven or HellCast aside the flesh of theeCast aside and set you free(chorus, sang 2x each time:)Oh-oh Death, Oh-oh-oh Death,Can’t you spare me over till another yearI lock their jaws so they can’t talk,Stiffen their legs so they can’t walkClose their eyes so they can’t seeThe chill you feel, it comes from me(chorus)Oh Ma-ma mama come to my bedPlace a cold rag on my headMy eyes are aching and I cannot seeI feel the sheet pulling over me
