La Mort Lyrics - Necromantia

(by Emile Verhaeren) 

Death has tasted blood 

in the cabaret of three coffins 

Death put down on the counter, 

a black crown 

and then went on her way 

Death went on her way 

very slowly 

to look for the last rites 

They saw coming back the priest 

and the choir boys 

too late 

to the house 

whose windows were closed 

Death has tasted blood 

She was Drunk with it
