Every day, I hear the clanging
An awful din, it does not end
A cold, languid call of the dead
So much pain, so many names
And everyone is overwhelmed
By so much loss - it's just too much
We try to seek meager relief
But we fail, and the bell keeps wailing on

It is hard to think about
The time before this dull horror
It's faint and dim, almost as if
My former self is some strange ghost
Who's on the edge of a precipice
He cannot see; he can't hear me
Yell and shout to warn about
The sickly clouds about to smother the world

In the first days of the plague
Our cruelties were all unleashed
Self-centered, we couldn't care
To take the steps that would protect
The vulnerable, or even ourselves
We carried on and went headlong
Oblivious and ignorant
As the dead started piling up and up

Our leaders fled at our expense
And we were told we're on our own
They helped themselves and no one else
They got richer while we dug ditches
It's plain to see our society
Is full of rot, pus, and blood
Disease just caused the mask to fall
Showing an ugly, pock-marked, snarling face

Every day, I hear the clanging
An awful din, it does not end
A cold, languid call of the dead
So much pain, so many names
And everyone is overwhelmed
By so much loss - it's just too much
We try to seek meager relief
But we fail, and the bell keeps wailing on
