Lyrics
Ummh, ummh... Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Mother came unto my bed Placed a towel upon my head Head is warm my feet are cold Death is movin’ upon my soul Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh death how you’re treatin’ me You close my еyes so I can't see You’re hurtin’ my body, your makin’ me cold You run my lifе right outta my soul Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh, the young, the rich, the poor Makes no difference who you are No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies but your soul Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year No, death keep your hands off my chest And I keep waiting for one final breath I know I may not pass this final test But, oh death, oh death, oh death, death-th-th Oh death I raise my eyes to the sky Give me great feathered wings to fly But, please now is not my time to die So, oh death, oh death, oh death, death-th-th I've been speaking with the dead Remove from my physical proximity But rattling through my lungs, oxygen, regimented pain Reminding me of purpose As I hurl myself unflinching, unblinking in the glow of luminescent tomorrows Without you I have been speaking with the dead She who is reluctant to reveal my amputated dreams But keeps me in her good gracing And because I love her I have to tell her That there are those that would defame you Sprinkling disreputable memories in the well waters of your goodness Those discontents roaming aimlessly, sharing voices unheard She speaks to me in dreams Her melancholic whispers prevent my fevered reconsideration She knows She showed me my future, became my past In what seemed like the same breath In my remembrance I explode backwards My rarely punctuated heartbeat runs on Sentencing me daily to begin, again without her Those lingering pomegranate sunsets ready me for her meticulous inspection We see the same stars And I will continue building this legacy we started together Grateful that she armed me with conviction And my condemnation will not falter in her absence I will illuminate every horizon revealed to me Because I'm not angry anymore My insomniatic refusals to continue conversations We started when she was in the flesh No longer call from my ranker Though, there are days when her presence is skin I never shed There are days when the rustling of leaves resembles her laugher And I spin on my heels seeking her face in a box of dead trees There are days when I miss her like teeth By I promise, I am not angry anymore Cause I know she would have given her life to be here And I am here Eagerly awaiting the blanket of stars she'll cover me with So that when slumber finally takes me She and I, we will continue this conversation Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won’t you spare me over for another year Ummh, ummh...
