Lady dressed in gold
She is young, she is old
She's the keeper of the soul
She's called death
Takes you in her arms
Like a child to a mother
She's your sister, she's your brother
She's death

She's knocking at your door
Don't have to run no more
This day I knew was coming

Wasted all my years with all of my fears
And nothing led me to nothing

Lady dressed in gold
She is young, she is old
She's the keeper of the soul
She's called death
Takes you in her arms
Like a child to a mother
She's your sister, she's your brother
She's death

There's no use in fighting
Doesn't matter if you're hidding
'cause' she is there when there is nothing left
Only longs for your last breath
She's in me and she's in you
She is waiting for the kiss that will let you go

Lady dressed in gold
She is young, she is old
She's the keeper of the soul
She's called death
Takes you in her arms
Like a child to a mother
She's your sister, she's your brother
She's death

Then you'll know
'cause' everybody knows it
When the time comes
The lady comes for you to take you home

'cause' everybody knows it
When the time comes
The lady comes for you
Oh didn't you know?

She's keepin' soul (she's keepin' score)
She's getting more (she's getting more)
She's dressed in gold (she's dressed in gold)
That's what I'm told (that's what I'm told)

She's keepin' soul (she's keepin' score)
She's getting more (she's getting more)
She's dressed in gold (she's dressed in gold)
That's what I'm told (that's what I'm told)
