My Name Is Death Lyrics - Incredible String Band

I am the question that cannot be answered 

I am the lover that cannot be lost 

Yet small are the gifts of my servant the soldier 

For time is my offspring, pray what is my name? 

My name is death, cannot you see? 

All life must turn to me 

Oh, cannot you see? 

And you must come with me 

You must come with me 

I'll give you gold and jewels rare 

And all my wealth in store 

All pleasure's fair 

If I may live but a few short years more 

Oh lady, lay your jewels aside 

No more to glory in your pride 

Tarrying here there is no way 

Your time has come that you must away 

And you must come to clay
