lyrics

As I walked out one May morning dark
When the sky hung grey and heavy-o
I met a man dressed in black cloak and hood
And a shadow spread before him

"Who are you, and why do you pass
Through my fields and meadows?"
"My name is Death, and I destroy the worlds
And I have come to take you"

"What have I done to be taken so soon?
A man who never sinned, o
What of my wife and children at home
What of their grief and woe?"

My name is Death can you not see?
Kings and princes bow down unto me
My name is Death can you not tell?
Time cannot break my spell

"In the long span of time," the dark man said
Your pain it is no matter, o
Man is vain, and his words are empty, o
And now it is time to go."

My name is Death can you not see?
Lords, dukes and ladies bow down unto me
My name is Death can you not tell?
Love cannot break my spell
