Doom and gloom and dark despair
People dying everywhere!

Children dying everywhere
Women crying in despair

So you've aged another year
Now you know that Death is near

When you've reached the age you are
Your demise cannot be far

Hear the women wail and weep
Kill them all, but spare the sheep

May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake

This one lesson you must learn
First you pillage, then you burn

When you've reached this age you know
That the mind is first to go
