“Plague Song" (2014)
I am the harbinger dressed like a crow
i've come from the past with a cane at your door
I'm dressed like a butcher, don't look in my eyes
don't breathe on or touch me, don't bother to rise
stay away, lay the man down
send out your sinners, your men of renown
rage rage burn it all down
Bring Laudanum, ambergris, lavender, straw…
camphor, rose petals and cloves of the Law
to cover the stench of injustice and greed
bring me my leeches, they're ready to feed...
Stay away, lay the man down
Death rides a pale horse in a glittering crown
rage rage burn it all down
Looked into the future and what did i see?
black ships of contagion that rolled on the sea
and they move just like money, wher'er the wind blows
from nation to nation i walk down the rows
Stay away, lay the man down
even your helmsmen are running aground
rage rage burn it all down
stack up the bodies set fire to the town
rage rage burn it all down
