Disease was rampant
God's punishment for sin
Black death pandemic
the state of suffering
The plague struck fast
danger to life and limb
Extermination dispersed so grim
Victims died within days in agony and despair
Cold crawling death, corpses everywhere
Miasma, the plague reigned on earth
A poisonous and infectious curse
The bells tolled to announce more deaths
Miasma, the souls laid to rest
The breath of the black death
It spread so swiftly town after town consumed
The sick were shut in graves of stone and loam
The doors nailed, marked with a large red cross
Left to die, this place was doomed and lost
Victims died within days in agony and despair
Cold crawling death, corpses everywhere
Miasma, the plague reigned on earth
A poisonous and infectious curse
The bells tolled to announce more deaths
Miasma,the souls laid to rest
The breath of the black death
Black death struck fast
Black death struck fast
Black death struck fast
Black death struck fast
Miasma, the plague reigned on earth
A poisonous and infectious curse
The bells tolled to announce more deaths
Miasma, the souls laid to rest
The breath of the black death
As fast as the thrill began
Authorities tried to explain
The sickness reported and found
Scavengers who cleaned up the streets
The watchers who guarded the scene
Searchers to find out who'd died
Mankind had to survive
