Moribund The Burgermeister Lyrics

Caught in the chaos in the market square

 I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there

 Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways

 The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze

 Ah, look at that crowd!

 

 Some are jumping up in the air - say "We're drowning in a torrent of
blood!"

 Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud

 Oh Mother! It's eating out my soul

 Destroying law and order, I'm gonna lose control

 

 What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone

 Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone

 Ah, look at them go!

 

 Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds

 "This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I'm gonna keep this monster down,

 Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of down."

 No-one will tell what all this is about

 But I will find out.

 (I will find out. I will find out.)

 

 This thing's really outrageous, I tell you on the level

 It's really so contagious must be the work of the devil

 You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play

 Seems the music keeps them quiet, there is no other way.

 Ah, close the doors!

 

 "We've tried potions and waxen dolls, but none of us could find any cures,"

 Mother please, is it just a disease, that has them breaking all my laws,

 Check if you can disconnect the effect and I'll go after the cause

 No-one will tell what this is all about

 But I will find out

 I will.
