Lyrics
PLAGUE HORSE
Little girl of nine dying with remorse
Barely still alive, clutching at her wooden horse
Let him be with me in my coffin dire
But fearing for the plague they threw him in the fire
CHORUS
I hear the clapping of the hooves (of the wooden horse)
I hear the crying child that rides it nightly
On fire’s breath across the land (comes the wooden horse)
To bring the pestilence and strife
Plague Horse!
(Won’t you come and play with me in the circle of the stones?)
Plague Horse!
(Round and round my wicked toy, ‘til you choke above my bones)
CHORUS
On the 13th day the little girl will rise.
Her jubilee of death insist that they apologize
Her little wooden horse comes to life!
To serve her will and want, spreading all her blackened strife
CHORUS
Plague Horse!
(Won’t you come and play with me in the circle of the stones?)
Plague Horse!
(Round and round my wicked toy, ‘til you choke above my bones)
