This song, heard in Season Five promos, is actually an old spiritual.
Lyrics
O Death
O Death
Won't you spare me over another
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
When God is gone and the Devil takes hold
Lord have mercy on your soul
No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Well I am Death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
O Death
O Death
My name is Death and the end is here.
