Caravan Of Plague BearersIt was in the midst of an autumns decayIt had been a your most unkind Crops and cattle rotting in the fields Soon the winter would be upon them Then came the days of the caravan... Out from the great marsh dragging crippled limbs behind No one knew who they were but soon the word got around The caravan comes All must flee while they can The caravan comes Sundered earth left behind Through the land they left a terrible trail a writhing pestilential snake Some say they were quiet as death himself Others say you could hear them chant As one, they all whispered a name Someone would be marked to die People died in the streets in their beds, on their knees in church The land had become a great vast tomb Bodies as far as the eyes could see And relentlessly the caravan marched on and on Now; Of the great empire of the east only rumours remain As for the caravan... ...no one knows its fate. |
