lyrics

Noisy wheels unbalanced move a rotten wooden cart.
Panels of wood discolored and growing parasitic life.
Traveling down every street,
followed by a shadow of blight.
The low ring of a bell,
struck with each stride,
it cuts through.
The call for the dead.
Doors open and bodies are dragged out.
Corpse after corpse heaved onto the cart,
piling too high for most to reach.
Something vile seeps out of a few,
spilling on their loved ones' shoulders.
This is a necessary service.
A cleansing that would be hazardous to most.
Without the cart brought to every home,
the rot would climb and the blight would spread.
By midday the sun heats flesh that births a stench that would repel most.
Already the cart is full.
The wood frame creaks.
Its wheels sink into the mud,
and the mule struggles to pull.
The day's work is done,
the route has met its end,
ignoring the cries of those with guests past their welcome.
