Tema

La canción principal es una respuesta directa a la **pandemia de COVID-19**, aunque también hace referencia a plagas históricas, viendo la propagación de la enfermedad como un horror imparable. La letra describe vívidamente el miedo, el sufrimiento físico ('la tos y los gritos') y la muerte generalizada ('Los enfermos, los moribundos y los muertos están en aumento'), estableciendo un tono sombrío y apocalíptico para el álbum.

Letra

Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Invaders came on phantom ships Sailed the Black Sea West to Sicily, yeah, yeah The sick, the dying, and the dead All that was left from this cursed disease, yeah, yeah It was the fleas onboard that bit infected Rats got blood inside of the fleas, yeah, yeah Soon the ghost ships tied up to the docks The path of the plague was complete, yeah, yeah The sweet smell of roses, a pocketful of posies You can't mask the fragrance of death in their beds There's typhus in the air, and ashes everywhere Amongst the sick, the dying, and the dead Feral creatures feasting on the dead Devour rancid human meat, yeah, yeah Death and sickness permeate their bones Rich or poor, they're dragged through the streets, yeah, yeah Open up your eyes, so you can see All the sick, the dying, and the dead Die, die, die Die, die, die Die, die, die Die, die, die The sick, the dying, and the dead
