The churchbell of doom is tolling, the angel of death is near  The ghost with the cowl and the sickle, spreading terror and fear  He's taking your breath, he's twisting your spine  He poisons your soul and he poisons your mind  Grim reaper will gather in his seed, blood will splatter his path  A phantom that's scaling your doom, the damned's foreboding of death  He's taking your breath, he's twisting your spine  He poisons your soul and he poisons your mind  Riding high on the black wings of death  Like a nightmare that's choking your breath  Like the terror that blackens your soul  It's the dream where you fall in a six foot deep hole  The dies of life are falling, the weak and the poor will !!lose!!  The rich in their ivory towers can't feel that their head's in the noose  No chance to talk him round, the black death is spreading its wings  He's the Jonah of unbridled fear, the pain to beggars and kings  He's taking your breath, he's twisting your spine  He poisons your soul and he poisons your mind  Riding high on the black wings of death  Like a nightmare that's choking your breath  Like the terror that blackens your soul  It's the dream where you fall in a six foot deep hole
