Mortica

Lyrics

When the world was young
Justinian
Skills of a dig man
Prayed Saint Sebastian
Then it spread
Through the Mediterranean
That was just the worst

Constantinople
They brought the rats
Rats brought the fleas
Spreading their disease

They fall like rain
They fall like rain

Far across the sea
In Messina
The rats found a new home
In Eurasia
Then it spread
With great affliction
That was just the worst

Constantinople
They brought the rats
Rats brought the fleas
Spreading their disease

When it was done
All that was left
Were the tears
And the rats

Go!
Constantinople
They brought the rats
Rats brought the fleas
Spreading their disease

On the backs of rats
They fall like rain
Because they were Plagued
