Death once walked this relic land |
|
He came while all would sleep |
|
Death held up his bony hand |
|
And with it death did sweep |
|
Across all land and water |
|
With one gesture he did take |
|
The lives of all man woman child |
|
And deafening silence followed in his wake |
|
Like stub before a shiny blade |
|
All man fell by his scythe |
|
Once the fever got you in its grasp |
|
There is but one more day left of your life |
|
Black Death |
|
Pestilence |
|
Black Death |
|
Pestilence |
|
The Lord has all forsaken |
|
All must cleanse themsleves from sin |
|
Then rid oneself from lust |
|
And take the holy spirit in |
|
To redeem your pity selves |
|
You all must flog your filth away |
|
With nightfall cometh the shadows |
|
Gather all the children of the |
|
Lord and pray |
|
The shadow heavy upon this land |
|
And still the stale air sway |
|
In great numbers all around |
|
The fallen lie as they fell to rot away |
|
Black Death |
|
Pestilence |
|
Black Death |
|
Pestilence |
