Leather bird beak mask Lives Fading Fast Smoke is Rising from the burning fires Endless Bodies in the Funeral Pyres We want to save the sick Leave this place where death is thick 1349 was a bad year Kings and Queens, Rats and Fear The only thing not infected is the sky I scream to the heavens why? Can I heal them of the plague And not catch it I beg I am too young to die Plague Doctors never cry Ball of Confusion ( Fowler) Stranded on a ball of confusion Spinning round just like your mind Perception opens many doors Flying thru space and time Stranded on a ball of illusion Humanoids construct ill fate Too bad the meteor is coming Earth rejoins the particles of space

Story behind the song
Plague Unit" Themes: Historical reflection, pandemics, societal decay Analysis: This song takes us to the Black Death of 1349, reflecting on plague doctors and the fears that gripped societies during pandemics. The "Plague Unit" could represent the medical or governmental response, which often struggled to cope with the scale of such disasters. The "leather bird beak mask" and the imagery of "funeral pyres" evoke the iconic look of historical plague doctors, who were thought to protect themselves from the disease through their long beaks filled with herbs. This symbolizes both the hopelessness of trying to fight such a pandemic and the dehumanizing nature of mass death. The line "1349 was a bad year" grounds the song in a historical context but also suggests that such fears of death, contagion, and societal collapse are timeless. "The only thing not infected is the sky" can be interpreted as a metaphor for nature or the universe, which stands indifferent to human suffering and folly. The narrator's desperation to save others but their own fear of "catching it" highlights the human fear of mortality and isolation.

Plague Unit ( Fowler) Welcome to the Plague Unit What will be our fate? Leather bird beak mask Lives Fading Fast Smoke is Rising from the burning fires Endless Bodies in the Funeral Pyres We want to save the sick Leave this place where death is thick 1349 was a bad year Kings and Queens, Rats and Fear The only thing not infected is the sky I scream to the heavens why? Can I heal them of the plague And not catch it I beg I am too young to die Plague Doctors never cry
