The Black Death |
| From the deaths of a million men |
| A child buried in the arms of his mother’s grasp |
| Decayed bodies piled up one by one |
| Maggots devouring an emaciated carcass |
| Starved the life from my flesh |
| I neither have the strength nor will left |
| In the dead of night it lurks in the shadows |
| Among rats and filth, to quench its desires; |
| Carving up your flesh |
| When you are dead with shame |
| A thousand men will come for you |
| As you fall into slumber |
| Unbeknownst to the maggots |
| They have already consumed your soul |
| God doesn’t pity this shadow of your former self |
| To cleanse these bodies of this disease we must purge the filth with fire |
| We offer our |
| Dead to a god that doesn’t hear our prayers |
| He selected by hand a million men and women |
| The children were left to rot in the sun |
| For the crows to take helping of their severed tongues |
| Who do we blame for the death of a million men? |
| Decomposition rearing its ugly head upon the dead |
| With withered hands I caress your lifeless face |
| Behold the angels of the black plague |
