LYRICS
A shadow creeps across the lands,
breaking apart the world of man;
a stain upon our pale white flesh,
that spice and herbs can not refresh.
Bar your doors and bow your heads,
hope to God they don’t count you dead;
no deeds of great can save your soul,
as Death arrives for his due toll. (to take his toll)
CHORUS
The Black Plague around us
The Black Plague is here
Who will clean our souls and
save us from despair
Swarm of fleas they bite your skin,
festering the boils of your sin;
The night air filled with bitterness,
A fever from the serpents kiss.
Wash your hands and clean your hearts,
mourn and wail and grieve apart;
cry out to God for mercy’s sake,
before the hour gets too late!
SOLO
CHORUS
