[Verse 1]
Why know death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
Look in bed this morning, children find your mother gone

[Chorus]
I said death don't have no mercy in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land, in this land, yeah!

[Verse 2]
Whoa! Come to your house, y' know he don't stay long
Why look in bed this morning
Children you find that your brothers and sisters are gone
I said death don't have no mercy in this land

[Bridge]
Death will go in any family in this land
Death will go in any family in this land
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
Look in the bed on the morning, children find that your family's gone

[Chorus]
I said death don't have no mercy in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
In this land. Whoa! Come to your house
Y' know it don't stay long, y' look in bed this morning
Children find that your brothers and sisters are gone
I said death don't, death don't have no mercy in this land
