A/N: "O Death" is sung by Ralph Stanley and is from the "O Brother Where
Art Thou?" soundtrack.
This is from the POV of Smith and Bane.
O Death
O-oooh Death,
O-ooooooooh Death,
Won't you spare me over for another day?
Oh what is this, I cannot see
An ice-black grip taking hold of me...
Oh I am Death, none will excel
I'll open the road to a black hole hell
"Woe Death," some men will pray
"Please wait on me another day"
The humans prayed, their leaders preached
But Time and Mercy are out of reach
I'll fix your legs and make you walk
I'll shape your mouth so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you won't see
My dark shadow taking over thee
Oh, I am Death come to take your soul
Use your body and leave it cold
To draw off power from every frame
Metal and earth shall I both claim
O-oooh Death,
O-ooooooooh Death,
Won't you spare me over for another day?
My Captain and I went to the City one night
To seek the Lady of the Second Sight
We scaled so many a roof and wall
Then Death caught me and caused my fall
Oh Death, how you're treating me
You've slashed my flesh while I can't see
Well, you've used my body
And made me kill
My memories now are close to nil
Oh Death, please consider my rage
You cannot take me at this stage
Soon I'll be naught and nothing more
And soon will end this awful war
Oh you may rant and shriek and rave
Just one more soul is what I crave
No wealth no ruin nor life to hold
Now all I crave is One's human soul
O-oooh Death,
O-ooooooooh Death,
Won't you spare me over for another day...
Won't you spare me over for another day?
Won't you spare me over for another day...
