From north to south, from east to west

embraced by the blackest death

From clergy to gentry, from burgess to peasants,

captured in the claws of death.

Breath of miasma, inhale the dead,

raped incubation, raise the black flag.

Deadly infection, bow to the end,

Yersinia Pestis, pandemic reign.

Bloodred hatred

Black paled elegy

Leading the rats onwards

Bringer of death inwards

Bloodred - hatred

Black paled elegy

Conception of dissolution

Harvester of pain

Seed of damnation

Heaven sent plague

Like thieves in the night

In dead's silence

Mask of the red death

Destiny unveiled
