Pesta

from Samhain by Cave Mouth

/

lyrics

It's 1349 and in Askøy Norway
on a boat the plague arrives

one man sees her leave
carrying a rake and a broom

before the boat is set alight
and pushed back into the sea

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now

Word it spreads like wildfire
folk lock their windows and doors

but Pesta goes from farm to farm
it's impossible to keep her away

If she carries her rake there's chance of escape
if she carries her broom you're doomed

You'll be swept you'll be swept
you'll be swept away
you'll be swept away by her broom

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now
