letra de scores of sores, legions of lesions - twitch of the death nerve

Loading...

the plague descends
blistering death oozing from every pore of the body, inexorable

rancind pustules disgorge their black and foul effluence
reeking of malady and vile decay

everyone is susceptible, the great leveller
rich and poor suffering as one in disease

the afflicted run delirious through the streets, coughing blood
marked with copious bruising
scores of sores, legions of lesions
bodies laid unceremoniously in piles, too numerous to bury

what is the cause of this tragedy, this cataclysmic kairotic point?
god? the perpetual recourse of the parochially ignorant
enemy of progress
the flaws of society forever overlooked

irrationality and panic leads to the rise of the flagellants
obdurate brethrens of the cross with angelic approbation
commanding you purge your sins with excoriation of thine own flesh
marching from town to town, gathering more proselytes
to spread the lies and mult-tude of lacerations

the immigrant populations erroneously scapegoated
brutal persecutions follow
schismatists burned at the stake
reputations smeared, along with their bl–dy carc-sses

in fact the missionaries increase infection rates where they travel
oblivious couriers of pestilence
death by sermon

terror follows in their footsteps
maniacal processions with pathetic hymns of penitence
eventually they will be in turn labeled heretics, a cruel irony

surrounding by mortality, the populace descends into anarchy
debauchery without restraint, the bonds of society are loosened
gorging on what supplies remain in gluttonous intoxicated feasts
frenzied orgies in celebration of survival in the grim dance of death

in the aftermath of the pandemic, those remaining question the helpless church
and their god of omni-potence, superst-tion and orthodoxy
they who provide no reasoned answers
or solutions to the suffering and hardship

now, with half of the clerics fallen, society is free to advance
science prevails
the disease acting like the biblical flood
cleansing us of false belief
