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
