lyrics

When I walk near all birds take flight,
Yet I know no bird that caws at night,
‘Cept the haunting cool black crow
Who calls to all demons below,
I shall not count him as a bird
Who sings within the light,
He is the lurking troubled soul
That screams in darkened midnight

Oh Death

Well what is this that I can’t see,
With ice cold hands taking hold of me
Well I am death none can excel
I’ll open the doors to heaven or hell

Oh death, someone would pray,
Wait to take me ‘till another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out your reach

I’ll fix your feet ‘till you can’t walk,
I’ll lock your jaw ‘till you can’t talk
I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see
This very hour come and go with me

In death I come to take the soul
Leave the body, and leave it cold
To rip the flesh off of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim

My mother came to my bed
To place a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold
Death is a movin upon my soul

Oh death,
Won’t you spare me over for another year
