lyrics

Death rode his chariot
Sea to sea and port to port.
In search of golden sorrow
To spread strife, fear and horror.

Call him by his name!
Call him by his name!
Call him by his name!
Call him...

By his name.

Birds of omen approach the shore.
Terror’s coated in blood of yore.
With wretched switchblade, bodies slain.
Assassinate more than ever saved.
Do not look into those eyes,
Soulless, black and terrifying.
Death has come to grace the souls
Of the weak and the unknown.

Tolling bells for pale estates.
Sickness rampant in the streets.
Death bequeathed cures unto me.
Fear me not, for I’ve the answers you need...
And I’m here to save.

Just call me by my name...
Call me Doctor Plague!
Just call me by my name...
Doctor Plague!

I salt the open wound that pulls upon the nerves.
I’m an eye upon the globe of a sinful, scarlet trove.
Paradise is dead.
Slumber sickly in your beds.
My fees collected at your graves.
It’s a bill to be saved.

(Chorus)

Just call me by my name.
I’m the one that’s here to save you from the charade.
Charlatanry’s my trade.
Death calls for his claims.
And no quarter does he cave.
I’ve come to heal you from this plague.
Just call me by my name...
Call me Doctor Plague!

Reality is subjective to my medical opinion.
I think you have the sickness.
...and it’ll cost to fix it!

(Chorus)

But don’t you wanna be saved?
Don’t you wanna be sane?

Solo: Carlino

Solo: Almeida

With silent gait, he pulls them ashore.
Across stone walls, stalking your doors.
Miseries sold by the pound.
Spreading infection and fear town to town.
Wraiths in black cannot be trusted.
Feeding on innocence in exchange for profit.
The sickness is real, and we’re not this naive,
To believe everything you want us to think.
The time has come, to heal our own.
Fear when lingered creates a hole
Down through a tunnel too deep to dig out of...
Lying bastards give not doctor’s orders!

Solo: Carlino

(Chorus)

How miraculous you’ve healed!
What a wonder to the world!
Am I not a savior in your eyes?
Why the look of spite?
...Why is the bottle still sealed tight?

Call him by his name.
Call him by his name.
Call him by his name.
Call him...

Doctor Plague!
