Plague Doctor's Lament

[Verse]
In the shadows breathin' dread
Mask on face the past I fled
Rusty chains but veins alive
Woods and whispers where I thrive
[Verse 2]
Plague doctor roamin' streets so cold
Hope inside a heart so bold
Bandaged hands with time so still
Touchin' souls with care and will
[Chorus]
Hold the lantern guide me through
In the night the form I knew
Lonely path with boots so worn
Through the mist where fear is born
[Verse 3]
Ravens watching silent skies
Eyes beneath with hidden cries
World a canvas black and gray
Cures and sorrow lead the way
[Verse 4]
Echoed voices dirt and stone
Empty homes and flesh and bone
Laughter lost the children’s song
Onward marching all night long
[Chorus]
Hold the lantern guide me through
In the night the form I knew
Lonely path with boots so worn
Through the mist where fear is born
