lyrics

Fields are left bare
There’s death in the air
Locked inside our homes
Better off alone

Over-population
Filth builds in the streets
Rats gnaw at the dead
The infection spreads

Everyday it’s getting closer
Every moment slips away
How long before my time has come
Or is my time already done
Carrying, unknowingly
Soon the sickness, all shall see
We’re the ones that they despise
The most vile in their eyes

There’s death in the air
No one will be spared
I now carry the plague
I’m as good as dead

Bodies go unburied
They now carry death’s seed
The sick are left to die
In hopes to purify

The black death unleashed
The plague eradicates
Our lives filled with mayhem
The dead will take us with them

There’s death in the air
No one will be spared
Disease takes control
Please, death, set me free
