Black Death

(album: Heart Of Darkness - 1995)

Pain and death spread everywhere
Foul disease hangs in the air
Corpses rot, live to die
Fate selects with closed eyes

Black death rules the country and rages through the land
Victims drop like flies, there seems to be no end
Cities turn to ghost towns awaiting what will come
People froze with fear, nowhere you could run

Laughing, crying
Tumbling, dying
Fighting, abandoning
Surrender to your fate

Black death walks behind
Black death in every smile
Black death at your side
Black death you can't hide

Some are rich, some are poor
Kings and queens, beggars, fools
As they die, they're all the same
Fate is cruel but who's to blame

Black death rules the country, there is no good and bad
There is no strong or mighty, all must bow their head
Everybody's equal as they lose their breath
There is no salvation, there is only death

Laughing, crying
Tumbling, dying
Fighting, abandoning
Surrender to your fate

Black death walks behind
Black death in every smile
Black death at your side
Black death you can't hide
[x2]

The reaper's time now and here
A skinless smile spreading fear
Bony hands reach for you
It is the end, your life is through

Pray to god for mercy, the reaper laughs aloud
Blood drips from his scythe as he cuts the victims down
Witches call for Satan, priests do raise their hands
Strong believes must fail, the reaper rules the land

Laughing, crying
Tumbling, dying
Fighting, abandoning
Surrender to your fate

Black death walks behind
Black death in every smile
Black death at your side
Black death you can't hide
[x2]
