Oi Death
what is this,
the room is
cold
this was foretold
I am death
I am the shadow on your wall
I am that which comes all days
before the fall
oi, death, oi, death
oi, death, oi death
lead us out of Eastern Europe,
just like Moses
lead us out before the camp gate
slams and closes
because even after war,
the Polish mobs
are at your door –
oi, death, oi, death
oi, death, oi death
Jews have died,
but only one was crucified
oi, death, oi, death
oi, death, oi death
I am death,
I will see that your
widow cries –
Let your children watch you die
before your eyes,
stop your heart before you can
say your goodbyes –
oi, death, oi, death
oi, death, oi death
my gullet seizes,
breath turns cold,
my bones are brittle
come here mother,
take a towel,
and wipe my
spittle.
Ich ver alt ich ver alt
und der pupik wird mir kalt
ich ver alt
und der pupik wird mire kalt
oi death oi death
oi death oi death
mark my gravestone
with these words,
to see me through:
“look, here lies,
among the flies, another
Jew” –
and kick some dirt and
run from this whole
graveside scene,
‘cause only goyim worry that
their grave’s kept
clean –
oi death oi death
oi death oi death
