Oh Death, oh Death, oh Death

a man amidst a sea of others, but they are not of importance—

Won't you spare me over another year

he glances back at the man, who falls, screaming—

But what is this that I can see

With ice cold hands taking hold of me

writhing, attracting the attention of others, and then still—

Well I am Death and none can excel,

I'll open up the doors to Heaven or Hell

and a long way away the gaunt man smiles—

No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold

Nothing satisfies me but your soul

a ring glints on a hand that clutches a cane—

When God is gone and the Devil takes hold

Who will have mercy on your soul

three rings join the first, spinning in awful unison—

My name is Death and the end is here.
