My name is Death

You'll come to know me well

I'll steal your soul

Then leave a lifeless shell

I creep into your room

But your soul's not what I crave

Tonight I'll take your only child

To an early grave

Your time passes with every falling grain of sand

The hourglass has emptied the end is at hand

By now you know my name death is who I am

So come and follow me into unknown lands

Mother don't you cry to me

The child is mine

Don't try to beg or plead

Mother your sorrow is so sweet

This is your destiny

You can't bargain with me

My deed here is done

There'll be no convincing

I have no compassion

Your cries go unanswered

Your sadness matters not

I will drain all life from you

And leave your corpse to rot

Your time passes with every falling grain of sand

The hourglass has emptied the end is at hand

By now you know my name death is who I am

So come and follow me into unknown lands

See the gleam of my scythe

Your spirit is my prize

Lifeless eyes your demise

I laugh at your petty cries

Mother don't you cry to me

The child is mine

Don't try to beg or plead

Mother your sorrow is so sweet

This is your destiny

Mother don't you cry to me

Mother your sorrow is so sweet
