• Watch the bodies hit the ground
    Watch as they all fall down
    Listen to their deathly sound
    Look, death is all around

    Here we are, wait to die
    It will come, don't you sigh
    You are next for your lie
    Listen as the women cry

    This is for our sin
    The welts under our skin
    Feel our blood growing thin
    Feel it and watch it begin

    Lay yourself bare
    Look to Mary fare
    Keep yourself within her care
    Even through this deep despair

    Oh mother of our lord
    You whom we have adored
    Oh how we have implored
    Heal our wounds or end with a sword

    It started at the seas
    With the East's trading sprees
    It has brought us to our knees
    Carried in the bite of fleas

    And from my brother it came to me
    From the ocean and the sea
    What a curse it came to be
    Killing me and thee

    Please tell us we are forgiven
    Take us in your hand to heaven
    Take us to a secret Eden
    Away from this year of 1347
