Black Death, Black Death, it's a horrible time,
The plague has arrived and it's spreading like wildfire.
The cities are empty, the streets are deserted,
Everyone's hiding away, afraid to be infected.
(Verse 1)
The Black Death came from the East,
It traveled on ships and it reached our shores.
In 1348, it hit England,
And it spread like wildfire throughout the land.
(Chorus)
Black Death, Black Death, it's a horrible time,
The plague has arrived and it's spreading like wildfire.
The cities are empty, the streets are deserted,
Everyone's hiding away, afraid to be infected.
(Verse 2)
The symptoms of the Black Death were terrifying,
People developed huge swellings called buboes,
Their skin turned black and their eyes turned red,
And they often died within days of being infected.
(Chorus)
Black Death, Black Death, it's a horrible time,
The plague has arrived and it's spreading like wildfire.
The cities are empty, the streets are deserted,
Everyone's hiding away, afraid to be infected.
(Bridge)
The Black Death killed millions of people,
It ravaged Europe and it changed the course of history.
It left behind a legacy of fear and superstition,
And it reminded us all of the fragility of life.
(Chorus)
Black Death, Black Death, it's a horrible time,
The plague has arrived and it's spreading like wildfire.
The cities are empty, the streets are deserted,
Everyone's hiding away, afraid to be infected.
(Outro)
But even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
The Black Death eventually came to an end,
And although it left scars that would never fully heal,
It also taught us valuable lessons about the importance of hygiene,
And the strength of the human spirit.
