Strasbourg, 1518
Boundless
Ceaseless
Le Diable's infernal disease
In Strasbourg
La tourmente de 1518
Disorder
Disarray
Streets babel:
"The end of days"
Dancing's eternal
And so's our despair
Overheated blood
Daemons pull out hair
"Send them to guildhalls
Plead rescue from the Lord
What happened to Frau Trauffea
Notre Dieu just can't ignore
Gather town's musicians
Bring their frame drums and harps
For surely that should cease
This panic-stricken dance"
Numbers undiminished
No plainchant could finish
Nor craving prayers continue
All men in halls were damned
And for months now
Our brains have ached
In restless Alsace
Men stay awake
And when we're passed out
We'll still be dancing
Le repos jamais absent
Ceaseless

And when we're passed out
