Corona lyrics

What words save mortal men

That they forget blackest fiend

That has a remedy of prevention

But is not seen in potenenance

Its kindred nemesis made meager

Yet a regal beast holds their interest

And breeds covertly incurably so

Where temporal beings thrive

And finds its mark in ignorance

Where apathy mingles carelessly

Lo, behold the donning masks

How they are borne laissez-faire

By fashion buffoons fondling fate

In boasting stature of tom-foolery

Habits bring on destiny's tempest

A wager that has but one whirl

Of the wheel that never wins

And all then left is to take care

In prophylactic designs deemed

To elongate the days that are

The hands of man kept clean

With consideration in full share

That dons mask and gauntlet

Disposed of in due time's task

Awaiting its cure another day, anon
