Pneumonic Plague Songtext
von Memoir Sonata

Dark the clouds that hover up far above our heads
Dark the day, but darker the future yet
Another one′s dead, another one's weeping
Is God deaf?

Spreading through the air
Filling up our lungs
Darkness comes

Almighty God, absolve our sins
Buried by the plague, my offspring and myself
Black our flesh burns, but save our souls
Forever we shall live, Lord, take us home

Black, the boils that cover the sailors laid to rest
Their sailing coffin, rats did infest
A cargo of death, Grim Reaper in plain sight
We breathe our end

Spreading through the air
Filling up our lungs
Darkness comes


Almighty God, absolve our sins
Buried by the plague, my offspring and myself
Black our flesh burns, but save our souls
Forever we shall live, Lord, take us home

We are all bound tighter
We are hastening to the same fate
The foul merciless clutches of Black Death
That calls all things breathing
Under the sway of its vile laws
We′re all being dragged screaming
To the abyss through the gates of despair and agony
Welcome!
To the underworld, the purgatory
The realms of darkness itself

Almighty God, absolve our sins
Buried by the plague, my offspring and myself
Black our flesh burns, but save our souls
Forever we shall live, Lord, take us home
