don't have no mercy, in this land
Death don't have no mercy, in this land
Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed
Somebody will be gone
Death don't have no mercy, in this land

He'll leave you standing and crying, in this land
He'll leave you standing and crying, in this land
He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed
Somebody will be gone
He'll leave you standing and crying, in this land

He won't give you time to get ready, in this land
He won't give you time to get ready, in this land
Death will come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed
Somebody will be gone
He won't give you time to get ready in this land

Death will go in any family, in this land
Death will go to any family, in this land
He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and one of the family is gone
Death will go to any family, in this land

Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look around
Your loved one is gone

Death will go to any family, in this land
He won't give you time to get ready, in this land
Death don't have no mercy, in this land
