lyrics

Come 'round children, let me tell you a tale of madness
A sickness, that still haunts the pages of man
Not of god, no a healer's hands failed to stay it
The most noxious of pestilence ever to creep of this land

The trigger was found 'neath the capitol's cobblestone alleys
Where the sewers were filled to the brink with a flowing most foul
The waste of the rich, oh no, it was just the beginning
Like that of the lunar embrace of a direwolf's howl

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ask "how were the governors sleeping?"
"While their citizens rotted away?"
"Were they blind to the plague of the vermin?"
"Or were they too busy filling their coffers to ever delay?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Plague... of the vermin /// Clear the streets with a virtue so great
Speak... holy sermons /// Welcome morals on wiping the slate
Apocalypse in your tirade
To wash the world clean of its hate

So they covered their faces with masks for the virus was airborne
And carted the dead to their burial down by the sea
From youngest to elder, from beggars and nobles to newborn
It became very evident no was was safe from disease
No corpses were burned, the tombs were not covered in soil
Cadavers were twitching and moaning as eyes came to life
Palms began grasping the walls as they clawed up to freedom
Once familiar of townsfolk, now were the agents of strife

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Know how the dead began feeding
Tearing flesh with hands broken and grey
Point blame to the ignorant leaders
Bleeding just to hoard enough gold to take to their graves
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Plague... of the vermin ///
Clear the streets with a virtue so great
Speak... holy sermons ///
Welcome morals on wiping the slate
Apocalypse in your tirade
To wash the world clean of its hate

Bones... of the dearly departed
Seek no rest while the kingdom still lives
Sink... sink your teeth into the heartless
Bash your limbs 'til the palace doors give
Tear out the throat of this rift
'Til slumber, I give you, this gift...
