Warpriest - The Black Plague 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
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
