lyrics

Oh death, where is thy sting?
Are you angel or a devil upon the bird with broken wing
Should the cat eat the canary or should a caged bird sing
It’s only food for thought yet a meal fit for a king

Every shade of autumn leaf will decorate your life
All except for love’s eternal spring
The flowers for your sweetheart all fell beneath the knife
But for the fleeting joy that they might bring
Where is thy sting?

Oh death where is thy sting?
For prey or for the predator what fate should fortune bring?
After a long hard winter comes forth the bloom of spring
Lord hand me down all your eternal things

To steal a taste of paradise would turn it bitter sweet
We’re here and then we’re gone in just a wink
To the chase of love, the embrace of love, to the taste of love I see
Without it life would never mean a thing
Where is thy sting?

Every shade of autumn leaf will decorate your life
All except for love’s eternal spring
The flowers for your sweetheart all fell beneath the knife
But for the fleeting joy that they might bring
Where is thy sting?
Where is thy sting?

Oh, death where is thy sting?
Are you angel or a devil upon the bird with broken wing
After a long hard winter comes forth the bloom of spring
Lord hand me down all your eternal things
