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
