(Verse 1)
I'm gonna sing you a song that's filled with fear,
About all the things that make the world appear,
A terrifying place, where death and danger lurk,
So fasten your seatbelt and prepare to smirk!
(Verse 2)
In the days of old, when Vikings did raid,
They'd kill and plunder, leaving you dismayed,
Their bloodthirsty raids took many lives,
And their victims' screams still echo in our minds!
(Verse 3)
Now move ahead to Tudor times my friend,
Where torture was the norm, and mercy wasn't in,
The Tower of London, a dreadful sight,
Where traitors' heads would roll, both day and night!
(Verse 4)
In Victorian England, where smog filled the air,
The streets were ridden with disease, and filth everywhere,
The cholera outbreak took many souls,
And the stench of death still lingers in our holes!
(Verse 5)
Let's not forget the Black Death's devastating blow,
Millions succumbed, their lives cut short, we know,
The plague swept through Europe, like a grim dark cloud,
Bringing with it nothing but sorrow and a shroud!
(Bridge)
From earthquakes and volcanoes that make the earth quake,
To floods and wildfires that leave a wasteland in their wake,
The world's full of perils that can take our breath away,
But let's remember to face them with courage, come what may!
(Verse 6)
In World War I, the trenches ran deep,
Young soldiers perished, in the mud, they'd sleep,
The sound of gunfire and the smell of fear,
A horror beyond imagination, it's clear!
(Verse 7)
And during World War II, the bombings tore,
Cities apart, leaving behind just gore,
Innocent lives lost in a senseless fight,
The echoes of their cries will haunt us with fright!
(Verse 8)
But not all history's dark, there's good to be found,
In the triumphs and achievements that leave us astound,
We celebrate the heroes who stood up for what's right,
Their bravery and kindness continue to shine so bright!
(Chorus)
So as we sing this horrible history song,
Remember lessons from the past, right the wrongs,
Let's strive for a better world, where terror takes a back seat,
And hope and compassion reign supreme, and we can feel complete!
