Death! O Death

Death! O Death, you suffocated my friend Death, you killed myriad of people on this land Yesteryear, you killed my ancestors Death! Oh Murderer, very early this morning You killed my good friend. Now, I am mourning Why? Why are you such a devious devil of disasters? Death, that's a warning, I won't go without a fight I will fight you to death, I won't leave light Without making a scene. I will fight for my rights I don't know if I'll be able to defeat or beat you But I will give my best shots: a few lefts or rights I will defy you, because you're an invincible killer An outlandish murderer. And I'm a darn fighter Death! O Death, nobody loves you. Death Oh Death, if you ever die, you won't get a wreath Death! O Death, even if I'm sad and out of breath I'm willing to fight you daily. I have a serious beef With you. That's no joke. Death, you are a murderer I want justice. I pray God to send us a powerful Savior Death! O Death, you suffocated my good friend I want to fight, I want to fight dying. I'm making a stand.
