She, the Plague

Illnath


She sweeps the doorstep, a well-used broom 
Bring diseases and plague, the ultimate doom 
By witchcraft of trolls she casts her spells 
With curses from heaven and blessing from hell 

With the unholy rain and the northern breeze 
She curses the land with her broom-sweeps of disease 
While beasts obey her commanding word 
She sweeps mankind from the face of the earth 

A damp air surround what's left 
A faint touch of decay 
A vast wreck yard is all that's left 
Ruins of yesterday 
Cultural monuments scattered 
Metal Archives suxxx 
Broken, crushed, betrayed 
As the survivors rise and start again 
Trying to find a way 

Plague! The devil is amongst us 
Plague! Demise! 
Plague! Run and hide the youngsters 
Plague! Sacrifice! 

"I'll kill you all as winter is coming and summer starts to crawl" 

She comes to town at the raven-dark night time 
When everyone lies restlessly inside 
Like a lonesome ghost she walks out there 
With red glowing eyes and pitch black hair 

Bubonic plague, we're rotting alive 
We are all bleeding so deep inside 
Run to the forest, hide in there 
Let not this demon come you near, my dear! 

And all that's left is ashes 
All that's left is dust 
But we rise and live again 
Because we know we must 
And all that's left is broken dreams 
All that's left is death 
But we rise and live again 
Living with every breath
