Plague Hag

from Daughters Of The North by Cave Mouth

/

lyrics

It’s 1349 and on a ship from England I arrive
in Norway I arrive in Norway

One man sees me leave
he sees my rake and my broom
his face is stricken with terror
his eyes become wide as the moon

If I carry my broom you’re doomed
so there’s no point in running my dear
no one will be living when I’ve come through

If I carry my rake there’s some chance of escape
If I carry my rake you might live

Will I the plague hag take your life
or will I spare it for now

Will I the plague hag take your life
or will I spare it for now

Word of me spreads like fire
folk lock windows and doors

but I move from farm to farm
it's impossible to keep me away

I’m clad in black flies and rats surround me
as I make my trail of oblivion through Norway

Folk die in their beds die toiling the land
folk die spinning thread die with dough in their hands
children are orphaned left all alone left all alone

Will I the plague hag take your life
or will I spare it for now

Will I the plague hag take your life
or will I spare it for now

Word of me spreads like fire
folk lock windows and doors

but I move from farm to farm
it's impossible to keep me away

But before long before long everything is still
But before long before long everything is still
