lyrics

It was me who came carried the Black Plague
Keep the sewer rats around so they could cop the blame
Franz Ferdinand was just a pawn in my game
When the war began that’s when I came out to play
There are some who think I let Lazarus get away
But he’s up there right now singing with the saints
Arthur Miller and his salesman I got them too
Sentenced to eternity in a padded room

Call me anything you want to
I ain’t got no name and no number
You can’t see me, can’t touch me
Hiding in plain sight in the sea of trees now
And you don’t ever get to know
All you know is some day you will run out of time
Call me anything you want to
I am the alpha and omega

On a pale horse with my black robe and scythe
Don’t even hesitate before I take a child’s life
I’m only out here to do the Lord’s dirty work
It’s just a job you don’t need to take it personal
But I must admit there are times I revelled in the misery
Like when those tyrant punks thought they could compete with me
4 horsemen, 4 winds and 7 trumpets play
When clouds get dark you know that I’ll be on my way
