My chief I cannot say that I have hastened on my way To bear the bitter tidings that I bring I walked as though my feet were slowly turning into clay I truly dread to have to tell this thing A voice inside my head told me I really am insane To hurry to explain this evil news For surely you will vent your wrath upon my feeble head And I will wind up dead or something worse Silence! You try my patience Get to your point or you will have to deal with mine Now see my chief already you are threatening my life Before I've half a chance to tell my tale You really make me nervous with the way you wave your knife You see my flesh is trembling and pale Of course, I've not been feeling well for quite a little while For weeks now I have had this nagging pain This duty you have given me is really not my style Patrolling rotten corpses in the rain Silence! This is sheer insolence Speak plainly now or I will have to trim your tongue Someone has buried the body, buried the body Sprinkled dirt upon that stinking corpse Someone has buried the body, buried the body And now that it's been said I fear the worst Silence! This news is monstrous I can't believe that my decree has been defied So, tell me now who did this deed, I really wish to know As you stood guard, how could this come to pass? Perhaps a hungry dog was digging, looking for a bone And chanced to shower dust upon the corpse Or possibly there's treachery concealed in what you say Perhaps your purse has recently grown fat My enemies paid you a bribe to look the other way Prepare to suffer if the truth be that Silence! I swear my innocence May I be eaten by the witches if I lie Someone has buried the body, buried the body Sprinkled dirt upon that stinking corpse Someone has buried the body, buried the body And now that it's been done I fear the worst Whoever did this deed has disappeared without a trace No tool or token did they leave behind They must have been invisible, or I'd have seen their face And silent as the snowfall in the pines Now there are those who say this is the doing of O Del They say that He is angered by your rule To leave a man unburied is immoral and obscene They say that you are acting like a fool Silence! This talk is treasonous You'd better leave before I have to take your life I want the man who buried the body, buried the body Sprinkled dirt upon that stinking corpse Bring me the man who buried the body, buried the body And if you fail, you're going to bear my curse
