We Are All Going to Die

The rich who give counsel take on gain
Hear not the starving poor call you
At last, you too will cry in vain
Death will turn a deaf ear on you
The merchant's wealth is a worthless thing
Of others won by lies, the spoils
Death will sure repentance bring
Snaring the snarer in his toils
Spend your days in wealth, in a moment be in your grave

Whoa, inhabitants of Earth
Death will visit all alike
Whoa, inhabitants of Earth
Death will visit all alike
Whoa, inhabitants of Earth
Death will visit all alike
Whoa, inhabitants of Earth
Death will visit all alike

This very night, well, you shall know Death
Tomorrow be encoffined fast
Tell me fool while you still have breath
Who'll have the gold which you've amassed
Love of life has ceased in thee
Who long has known this suffering strife
Come along now and rest with me
Death is better now than life

Behold, behold, the hour is at hand
