Diamanda Galas - O Death lyrics
rate meO, Death<br />
O, Death<br />
Won't you spare me over til another year<br />
Well what is this that I can't see<br />
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me<br />
Well I am death, none can excel<br />
I'll open the door to heaven or hell<br />
Whoa, death someone would pray<br />
Could you wait to call me another day<br />
The children prayed, the preacher preached<br />
Time and mercy is out of your reach<br />
I'll fix your feet til you can't walk<br />
I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk<br />
I'll close your eyes so you can't see<br />
This very air, come and go with me<br />
I'm death I come to take the soul<br />
Leave the body and leave it cold<br />
To draw up the flesh off of the frame<br />
Dirt and worm both have a claim<br />
O, Death<br />
O, Death<br />
Won't you spare me over til another year<br />
My mother came to my bed<br />
Placed a cold towel upon my head<br />
My head is warm my feet are cold<br />
Death is a-movin upon my soul<br />
Oh, death how you're treatin' me<br />
You've close my eyes so I can't see<br />
Well you're hurtin' my body<br />
You make me cold<br />
You run my life right outta my soul<br />
Oh death please consider my age<br />
Please don't take me at this stage<br />
My wealth is all at your command<br />
If you will move your icy hand<br />
Oh the young, the rich or poor<br />
Hunger like me you know<br />
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold<br />
Nothing satisfies me but your soul<br />
O, death<br />
O, death<br />
Won't you spare me over til another year<br />
Won't you spare me over til another year<br />
Won't you spare me over til another year
