[Verse 1]
Dawn the mask to filter the scourge of love
Filled with juniper, mint and clove
Seen through the eyes of the Plague Bird
Blood-letting, straight from the heart

Heavily waxed and sealed from the air
The vile presence burns the lungs
Rise, the stench of Black Death
Re-balance the humours that bind

[Chorus]
Breathe
This air is poisoned with the past
See
My heart bleeds in misery
Veil
To hide my eyes from the truth
Run
Far from this life I knew

[Verse 2]
Drape of lies embrace the soul
Distracting sight from forward growth
Seen through the eyes of the Plague Bird
Blood-letting, straight from the hearts

[Chorus]
Breathe
This air is poisoned with the past
See
My heart bleeds in misery
Veil
To hide my eyes from the truth
Run
Far from this life I knew

[Bridge]
Aromatic plume blankets the cold
Born with a consuming burn

[Chorus]
Breathe
This air is poisoned with the past
See
My heart bleeds in misery
Veil
To hide my eyes from the truth
Run
Far from this life I knew
