Album: Yersinia Pestis (2004)

Shorespread God


[Music by H. Schönström and C. Älvestam, lyrics by P. Johansson]

The impact of the clash in Kaffa
A far spread wave carried by sails
Down to the shores of Alexandria and Marseille and Genua
A holocaust gate opened wide
For mankinds wonder and gaze
By hundreds of feet, to a thousand a new
For a two years wandering to the lands up north
The earth be scourged, not by fire
Nut by a wrath unmatched in biblical tales
A god arisen of sulphur, may it be
Missioned by the flocks of rats
A holocaust with no bane or blame
For a death in millions
