The lyrics are
"First, you feel a little poorly and then you start to smell. Then you start to spit some blood and then you erally smell! Then you know its time to ring your funeral bell! Along comes mister death and swishes you to hell.
Was the summer of 793 when we sailed across the great north sea,

You're gonna lose your head my friend, Literally!
We're gonna get ya in the end, Literally!

these are all the songs from the second series:
BLACKBEARD -
When I was a nipper, I boarded a clipper,
Sailed the seas as a good supporter, Oh!
Edward Teach is my name, but I earnt my fame,
As Blackbeard the pirate of the water, Oh!
Was a jolly chap, with a jaunty cap,
Always gave my crew good quarter, Oh!
But I'm best known for, blood and guts and gore,
And a viscous reign of murdering and slaughter, Oh!
Crew: Best known for, blood and guts and gore,
And a viscous reign of murdering and slaughter, Oh!
Left my home in Bristol, with a sword and pistol,
Bid a fond farewell to ol' Blighty, Oh!
What my enemies feared, was my think black beard,
Which I always enjoyed setting light to, Oh!
Once I had a thing for a captive's lovely ring,
That shone like a jewel in the nighty-oh!
When the man said 'no', I just said 'oh,'
And chopped of his hand and said 'righty-oh!'
Crew: Man said 'No.' He said 'Oh,'
Chopped of his hand and said 'righty-oh!'
Oh, I love to sail the ocean,
With my flag that inspired emotion,
Crew: With its smiling pile of skull and bones,
Smashing hearts with a violent, stabbing motion.
And I love to escape detection,
And to win my crew's affection.
Crew: Which was nothing to do with the twelve guns he wore
On his belt that were for protection.
I was awfully nice, but I had the odd vice,
Which occasionally cause a commotion.
The thing that I'd do was shoot members of my crew,
If they didn't show enough devotion.
Crew: The thing he'd do was shoot members of the crew,
If they didn't show enough devotion.
Once when very Irate, I shot my first mate,
Israel Hands for a bit of pleasure, Oh!
And when my debts grew, killed half of my crew,
To increase my share of the treasure, Oh!
Was doing well then, seemed to run out of men,
My captives boarded at their leisure, Oh!
Smote me dead then cut of my head,
And displayed it on my mast for good measure, Oh!
Crew: Smote him dead, chopped off his head,
Displayed it on the mast for good measure, Oh!
COWBOY SONG -
Well im a real-live cowboy
Just a quiet, humble fella
That's what we're like apart from Mike
Yeah, I'm more of a yeller!
Sing songs to pass the evenings and because it soothes the herd
So they wont stampeed unless Mike sings lead
And shouts every single word!
MIKE!! Sorry
Coz we're cowboys real life cowboys
Not like the ones you've seen on your tv
Weve never hold up banks at all
We're poorly paid, and kinda small
If you still wanna be a cowboy..
Stick with me!
On your horse for 18 hours, that saddle sores' a curse!
Then feed your horse and yourself ofcourse
Though beans just make it worse!
Then you're back driving cattle, that's what being a cowboy means,
Moving those beasts from west to east, (fart) sorry its the beans!
Coz we're cowboys, real life cowboys
Not like the ones you've seen in the movies
We're not big hunks like that John Wayne
Coz our horses would complain
If you still wanna be a cowboy..
Join us please!
You should be aware, we have some customs that are strange,
Like saying 'Howdy' and not 'Hello' when you're out here on the range
Never touch a cowboy's hat, never ride his horse
So what if I took your old man? Why I'd shoot you ofcourse! Fair enough..
Cowboys, real life cowboys,
Not like the ones you see on silver screens,
We didnt go out starting fights,
Coz Unions fought for our rights
Now Mike will do a solo thanks to beans
(bean solo)
How was that? It stunk!
And now my friends i fear that the end is drawing near,
Coz we only ruled the range for 20 years!
Yeehah!
LITERALLY - THE VIKING SONG -
Was the summer of 793 when we sailed across the great north sea,
Comets crossed the skies that night, must have known something wasn't right
We arrived apon your English shore
and you offered friendship but we wanted more

THE VICTORIAN SONG -
t'was the age of Queen Victorians,
a period, notorious,
for so many new brands we did create.
our list is long and glorious,
but i don't intend to bore ya's
was a time of great invention.
was it really? what did we invent then?
well I'm just about to mention, drumroll please lets raise the tention...
(cough cough) we invented.. this, musical.
is that all? well...
a chap called Henry bessimer invented molten steel,
which led to other chaps creating thee automobile.
which led to petrol, tyres and bikes so all that was required,
was roads so concrete came and tarmac thought up too. you're hired!
ooooooh, concrete tarmac steel, thee automobile!
seal of rubbel wheel, such inventive zeal!
still teres plenty to reveal...
Victorian brains worked overtime to come up with ideas,
we invented light bulbs. nice one! cheers!
type writers and radios now news was fast conveyed, hello?
a telephone was no good 'til a second phone was made, hello!
ooour iiiinventors did not snooze, always had another rooze,
the latest flushing loos, films that did amuse,
flashbulb cameras to use, wadda picture, wadda picture!
vaccuum cleaners, toilet paper, postboxes and stamps,
toilets, asprins, anesthetics, locks, electric lamps,
sewing machines, x-rays, comics, ice cream in a pot
Easter eggs and rockets, we invented the whole lot!
oooooooooh.. oh hang on, theres more,
trains and lines and bridges and the underground aswell,
paddle steamers, prams and disinfectant for that smell
steryle doctors instuments, one last unmentioned brand,
Victorians invented the worlds first conveyor band.
cuddly toy? invented 1902, the year after Victoria died.
ooooooh baaaarometers we new, iron ships a coo,
what genius! thank you! seems we're almost through..
just one little oversight... we invented... dynamite
CHARLES II: KING OF BLING -
my name is,
my name is,
my name is Charles the second!
I loved the people and the people loved me
So much that they restored the English monarchy!
I'm part Scottish, French, Italian a little bit Dane, but 100% party animal, champagne? Spaniels I adored, named after me too, like me they were fun with the natty hairdo.
Is today my birthday? I cant recall...
lets have a party anyway because I love a masked ball!
All hail
the king
of bling
lets sing
bells ring
ding,ding.
I'm the king, who brought back parting!
King Charles my daddy lost his throne and kings were banned.
They chopped off his head and Ollie Cromwell ruled the land.
Old Ollie wasn't jolly, he was glum and he was proud.
would be as miserable as sin,
only sinning's not allowed
When Ollie died the people said "Charlie my hearty, get rid of his dull laws, come back we'd rather party!"
These actions what they call the monarchy restoration.
Which naturally was followed with a huge celebration.
The king of Eng
land say,
no sin
to sing,
o.k .or an
ything, all say, I'm the king who brought back parting
Great London fire was a whopper,
in my reign, London city came a 'croppa'
so dis king did wot was right an' 'proppa'
an' fire profed more than a 'whoppa' (?)...
I'm a fire stopper!
Married Catherine Brankinsells (?)
She was a love so true
thered never be another, well
maybie one or two,
Lucy Walter,
Nell Gwynne,
Mul Davis,
Barbera Villiers,
You think that's bad, but her names not as silly as:
"Autense Menseeney" (?)
As king, I must admit I broke the wedding rules
But who cares when I brought back the crown jewels?
I re-instated Christmas, makeup, sport and even plays!
I was the merry monarch, they were good old days!
When said
And done
King Charles (that's me)
did run
England
for fun
I was the king,loved by everyone,
my song is DONE
party anyone?

GEORGE IV: COULDN'T STAND MY WIFE -
I'm Charles the 4th the regent king, which means i was just standing in
acting king because my dad, George the 3rd had gone barking mad! (banana)
great palaces i did design, buckingham was one of mine,
art and fashion i surrated, and wives? that's more complicated.
actresses and duchesses the great loves of my life
i loved more girls than i ate pies but i couldn't stand my wife
(he couldn't stand his wiiiiife!) go away!
i only married queen Caroline, when my debts began to climb
coz if i agreed to tie the knot, (i said i'd pay off the looooot!)
but the wdding caused all sorts of strife, coz i already had a wife
(i divorced catholic?!) dad did sigh, but the mad old goat just wouldn't die!
(still here! oops! spoke too soon!) at last i can go solo!
as true king my reign began, though i was now older than your nan!
and as the ruler of our nation, a banned my wife from my coronation,
and knowing now that i did hate her, she promptly died just 3 weeks later,
but all thoes pies that i got through meant 10 years later i died too!
(hello, have we met? I'm a kangaroo!)
actresses, duchesses the great loves of my life!
i loved more girls than i ate pies but i couldn't stand my wife!
i had just 10 years on the thron, do you remember that?
no all that you remember is... i was really faaaat.

BOUDICCA -
Gonna cause a stink, won't be the first to blink
I'm not who you think, don't mess with me
I'm boudicca
My husband prasatorgus died, he was a Celtic king
I was his queen so due to me was half of everything
Roman law gave half to me so half is what they got
Till' their nasty soldiers came and took the blessed lot
Hey mister, I say you got the wrong end of the stick
His answer turned this sister into one angry chick
No man, Roman will push around this woman
You won't get far, with Boudicca
Bow man, yo man, smash the Roman, foe man
All say ya, 'ya', Boudicca
I built a massive army, headed straight for the city
Beat em' all with ease and like me, it wasn't pretty
Chopped em' and hacked, but what made their red blood curl:
'It's bad enough bein' beaten, but beaten by a girl!'
Wacked em' smacked em' boy how we attacked em'
Near and far, ha, ha, ha
Flayed em' slayed em', up and down parade em'
Boudicca, toughest by far
'Colchester, London, St Albans, everybody talk about : dead Romans
We marched on up the roman road that's known as Watling Street
They trapped us in the forest then thrashed us to our defeat
By now you've guessed I'm not the kind of gal who'd sit and cry
Be sold a slave to Romans, you know I'd rather die
They tried to take me prisoner so I led the roman boys on
Instead of givin' into them I swallowed special poison
Marter, smarter, captured and non-starter
this was our, last hoorah
slaughtered, dismembered, our tribe always remembered
Boudicca, Superstar
Boudicca, Superstar
HIEROGLYPHICS -
TEACHER:
Settle down class, now you've passed your Grade 1 Pyramid Selling.
Yeah, the time has come for me to drum some facts into you about spelling.
Oh, it seems to me your ABC skills are less than terrific.
So buck up boys, as we master the joys of the lovely Hieroglyphic. Wooh!
Everyone needs their ABC; it's as simple as vulture foot basket.
You know how to sing doh ray me: easy to spell, it's hand eye-thingy owl.
ABC?
KIDS:
Vulture, foot, basket.
TEACHER:
Doh ray me?
KIDS:
Hand, eye-thingy, owl.
TEACHER:
You'll pass with ease and find it's a breeze: the rules are scientific.
Don't have to me smart, all you do is start with simple phonetic-glyphics.
Next you get two letters a set; morphenes called glocographic.
Finally for the form of a word: determinatives.
KID:
Horrific!
TEACHER:
Everyone needs their flamingo house sun,
simple, but sun can mean duck, everyone.
You all know how to write your name.
KID:
Except for me: Tutanephititikhamun!
TEACHER:
Flamingo, house sun?
KIDS:
But duck is sun!
TEACHER:
Tutanephititikhamun?
TUTANEPHITITIKHAMUN:
Let's leave that one.
TEACHER:
If you find it hard don't be afraid to go and ask your mummy for aid!
Now it's time for a spelling 'bee'!
That's not how you spell 'bee'; see me -
Foot, reed, reed: easy.
Cat, pig, dog, rat, dog, frog,
Make your spelling magnific!
You can go up and down, left and right and around,
For punctuation in hieroglyphic.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
Just seven hundred characters or so!
Now that's done let's have some fun,
With numbers - here we go!
Everyone needs their one two three,
It's as simple as eye, eye eye, eye eye eye,
You can all count to ninety-nine,
Easy to write: it's hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye.
One two three?
KIDS:
Eye, eye eye, eye eye eye.

Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye, eye.
TUTANEPHITITIKHAMUN:

PACHACUTI -
im pachacuti the incan lord
all other tribes dreaded
my name means ' he who shakes the earth'
not that im big headed
when it came to claiming nearby lands
i was the type to risk it
but it's how i treat dead enemies
that really took the biscuit
i drink form their skull
(do the pachacuti)
pull out their teeth whole
(do the pachacuti)
make teeth into charms
(do the pachacuti)
make flutes out of their arms
(PACHACUTI)
once all the hill sides my troops hit
to cause a riteful strive
and when they jumped out
it look like the ground had come alive
the rocks they are my warriors
i then used to boast
and that little lie helped us with wars
but violence helped the most
i drink from their skull
(do the pachacuti)
pull out their teeth whole
(do the pachacuti)
turn teeth into charms
(do the pachacuti)
make flutes out of their arms
(PACHACUTI)
if you were a rival chief
we'd kill you fast and then
we'd stuff you like a scarecrow
but one for scaring men (AHHH)
then we'd rest your boney fingers
on the streched skin of your belly
then in the breeze they'd tap at your tum
like a drummer, but more smelly
drink from their skull
(do the pachacuti)
pull out their teeth whole
(do the pachacuti)
use their skin as a drum
(do the pachacuti)
ive never had so much fun
(PACHACUTI)

Horrible Histories!
No, "Death Before Dishonor" contains explicit lyrics.
Response to the death of a person or a group.
If you are referring to the Hammerfall song, after reading the lyrics at the link below I would say it means "accept your death." There are references in the lyrics to "the reaper" (Grim Reaper) and "the river Styx" (in Greek mythology the way to Hades or Underworld), so it seems pretty clear that's what is meant.
Named from the lyrics of a song by Steppenwolf called Born to be Wild, which contained the lyrics "I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder, racin' with the wind...", though the phrase heavy metal in those lyrics was referring to motorcycles.
I think that song is THIS IS WAR...
You could check a '''cool video''' on '''youtube''' called "'''The Black Death Song'''". It's by the '''British teleision show called"Horrible Histories",''' '''broacasted on the BBC''' '''for kids'''.
the oriental rat flea b had caused black death
YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DEATH. probably from scratches. YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DEATH. probably from scratches. YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DEATH. probably from scratches.
black death
Wow...I remember that. Ugh, it was horrible. I don't remember what the rate was...it was up there though.
Most of them caught Black Death. And suffered a horrible death.
yes it is horrible!!! it means you have the black death potatoe sickness!!!!!!!
The plague was called the black death because the skin would start to rot and actually turn black, and it killed you. If you were lucky enough not to get the horrible disease, you were unlucky because your town, at the first sign of it, would be shut down.
Yes, black death is a very deadly disease. It peaked in Europe during the iddle ages.
The disease was called the Black Death because one of the symptoms produced a blackening of the skin around the swellings. The spread of the Black Death followed all of the Trade Routes to every country no matter the condition of each indivual.
King Tut died of an infected leg, apparently to Horrible Histories. But as well as historians, I don't know WHEN King Tut died. You would probably be better looking at a different website to find the answer. Sorry.
The horrible news of her son's death is sure to devastate her. The news of her son's horrible death is sure to devastate her. The news of her horrible son's death is sure to devastate her. Which country shall we devastate next?
