Purification by Fire

1349 forever blackened,
Immense suffering breeds,
Fear of the Black Death.

Seduced by the liars,
The Devil stokes the fire,
Mouths spread venom,
Evoking sheer terror.

Curse the Antichrists,
Who poisoned the wells,
Fear drove the town folk,
Condemned them all to Hell.

Victimised, accused and led to their slaughter,
Thousands were massacred,
In this Ungodly vilification.

Fires blazed into the night,
To purge the flesh of all sin.
