Lyrics

King Pest

It's twelve o'clock in London town

Human beings creeping round

Pestilence all over the land

People dying and there's no end

Screams and laughter fill the air

The undertaker is everywhere

He's celebrating his bloody meal

If there's no money there's no deal

[Chorus:]

Cause he's the king

King Pest

Be my guest

King - King Pest

He takes the rest

King - King Pest

The unknown guest

King - King Pest

He takes the best

Big black shape with a skinless smile

A pale white skull waiting for the time

Despairing screams echo through the night

Disciples of fear calling for the fight

Between life and death no chance to choose

Try to pay the bill, but you will lose

He collects the victims for the open hell

The king of destruction with his mortal bell

[Chorus:]

Cause he's the king

King Pest

Be my guest

King - King Pest

He takes the rest

King - King Pest

The unknown guest

King - King Pest

He takes the best
