"Pest" lyrics

Embrace the curse of the black death
Fever, dread and bubonic plague
See the deceased bodies piled up, covered in swarms of flies
They'll be left on the streets, they'll be burned on a pyre
Doomed to extinction, villages vanished
A scythe will wipe them from the earth in the blink of an eye
This dire fate is brought in sailing ships, barrels, crates
Remains, thrown into ditches filled up with mud and sewage
Caress the cloak, welcome the grim lord, who will sentence you to death
Like withered leaves, we will fall down and be carried away in the tempest

The gods will send their wrath upon all mankind
By their punishment, your limbs will rot off, death fog

The fog of dead masses is sweeping through the continent
Vomiting sticky blood, no time to catch your breath
Tens of millions die and go to waste
Gone from all memories
Forgotten names crumbling of gravestones

Forgotten names
They'll be weathered away

Black death accursed by the pest
Kissed by the breath of the moribund
The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight
Rest in peace and close your eyes
Black death pray for salvation
Absolve us blasphemous heretics
The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight
Rest in peacetime to die

Grim reaper writing down, death tolls, filling books
Summon the cries of widows
These are your last rites
Rest in peace

Embrace the curse of the pest
Crow-faced doctors shaking hands with preachers
Last remaining, patron saints of the fallen, cross leaving us
Pray for mercy listen closely, no one will answer you

Black death accursed by the pest
Kissed by the breath of the moribund
The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight
Rest in peace and close your eyes
Black death pray for salvation
Absolve us blasphemous heretics
The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight
Rest in peacetime to die

Shadows of the night
Cursed to starve outside
Shadows of the night

Cursed to starve outside
Fading out of life
Desire to die

Shadows of the night
Cursed to starve outside
Fading out of life
Desire to die
