From where she came no one could tell The greatest evil of its time Medieval curse sent from the depth of hell That covered all in deathly grime
First she swept the cities inexorable Her name was written in the sky Then she reached the realms of the forlorn lands And there you saw pesta fly
In the pompous halls and the beggars lairs She crept upwards the stairs From the mighty fjords to the desolate shores In the northern sky, pesta fly!
With rake and broom she traveled All corners she would clean Over sea and river and in the forests deep Her sanguinary shape was seen
She rode the night sky on icy winds of death And all was covered soon by her putrid breath Reaching the out most of all deserted plains Leaving them all in their plague-ridden pain
In the pompous halls and the beggars lairs She crept upwards the stairs From the mighty fjords to the desolate shores In the northern sky, pesta fly!
