Death, Oh Death

Death, Oh Death



Death, Oh Death why you must come here

During this times of joy and cheer



You see us happy as we can be

And so now stay to ruin our glee



You take from us the greatest joy

The light of life you work, to destroy



You encroach into life

Falling like a fated knife



You come in home's, in the dark night

And you take away life’s bright light



Death, Oh Death all you have done

Is make a father miss his lost son



Death we may think you a terrible curse

You give us that ride, in your great dark hearse



Death, Oh Death you do these great things

And bring down the mightiest of kings



But when your inevitable bells ring

We start to notice the tiny things



Death, Oh Death, I thank you for what you do

And one day, you will help me bid my life adieu
