Mother, may I open my eyes?
There's a great, big world waiting right outside
Mother, may I raise my voice?
Do "We the People" have that choice?

Mother, may I rest my head
Though I did not try my best?
Mother, may I sip the wine
Though I did not tend the vine?

[Chorus]
Oh, Death, you can come for me
Oh, Death, but you can't comfort me

Devil, I do have your name
Stuck in my ear and I'm to blame
And though I beg you, let me be
Devil, you ignore my plea

The crown of lies I wear in shame
What I would give to try again

[Chorus]
Oh, Death, you can come for me
Oh, Death, but you can't comfort me
Well, Jesus, may I have your grace?
Jesus, though I hide my face
And will you cast my doubts away?
Take my sins down to the grave

If there is hope then let me see
There is life for those like me

[Chorus]
Oh, Death, you can come for me
Oh, Death, but you can't comfort me

Oh, Death, I will conquer thee
