The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, it has been conclusively proven via analysis of ancient DNA from plague victims in northern and southern Europe that the pathogen responsible is the Yersinia pestis bacterium. Thought to have started in China or central Asia, it travelled along the Silk Road and reached the Crimea by 1346.
From there it was probably carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships. It spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60 percent of Europe's population, reducing world population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in the 14th century. The aftermath of the plague created a series of religious, social and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plaugue occasionally reoccurred in Europe until 19th century.

Plot
After Kick-Ass' insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist -- reborn as The Mother F%&*^r -- only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world's first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she's forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world's first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there's only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

Black Death - Night of the Living Death
Pain and death spread everywhere
Foul disease hangs in the air
Corpses rot live to die
Fate selects with closed eyes
Black Death rules the country and rages through the land
Victims drop like flies, there seems to be no end
Cities turn to ghost towns awaiting what will come
People froze with fear, nowhere you could run
laughing, Crying
Tumbling, Dying
Fighting, Abandoning
Surrender to your fate
[Chorus:]
Black death - walks behind
Black death - in every smile
Black death - at your side
Black death - you can't hide
Some are rich, some are poor
Kings and Queens Beggars Fools
As they die they're all the same
Fate is cruel but who's to blame
Black Death rules the country, there is no good and bad
There is no strong or mighty, all must bow their head
Everybody is equal as they lose their breath
There is no salvation, there is only death
The reaper's time now and here
A skinless smile spreading fear
Bony hands reach for you
It is the end, your life is through
Pray to god for mercy, the reaper laughs aloud
Blood drips from his scythe as he cuts the victims down
Witches call for Satan, priests all raise their hands
Weck das Feuer in mir
Weck das Feuer in mir
Weck das Feuer in mir
Du weckst das Feuer in mir
Brenn
Schwarzer tod
Komm und lieb mich schwarzer tod
Umarm mich schwarzer tod
Black death I'm not scared
Vor deiner Fratze hab ich keine Angst
Black death caress me
Black death lick my pale skin
Black death come to love me
Make my body burn
You make my body burn
The gates of hell are opened wide
Legions of death are rushin' trough.
Those are leaded by Satan's might
Invincible messengers of black death!
Satan's servants millions of rats
Are invading the land like a storm
they are so fast - they show no mercy
A lesson in total warfare!
Rotting fingers ...
Nobody is safe from the sentence of death
No one's defending his life
Cause when the army of death will arise
The final curtain falls!
mankind's living in constant fear
Everybody staying at home
he's ... invincible straight
he's fear of his life
Black death, black death
Lucifer's whiplash's tormenting the masses
Black death
Stinking corpses are proving his strength
Black death, black death
Lucifer's whiplash's tormenting the masses
Black death
Stinking corpses are proving his strength
Nobody is safe from the sentence of death

See you in hell
Pestilence, plague

evil virus from hell
Rotten corpses everywhere
Black death
Sharp scythe of death
swings and reaps
epidemic black death

The most grim weapon

Hail Black Death
The Black Death aaargh
The countess was laughing
She looked out the plague from her throne
By the gate in the darkness
The crowd was screaming in pain
Cursed of sickness by starving
People dying slow
They are burning their bodies, the victims
The plague got in hold
The plague is getting in its hold
There is no way to escape
The old man conquered her throne
So it's been told
A new day was rising
The unknown came riding along
An old man with power and strength
To conquer the throne
In shelter of darkness
The people were standing strong
By their leader the old man
No sai quora'm suy endurmitz
ni quora'm velh,
s'om no m'o ditz.
Per pauc no m'es lo cor partiz
d'un dol corau;
e no m'o pretz una sauritz,
per Sanh Marsau!
Fag ai lo vers, no say de cuy;
e trametrai lo a selhuy
que lo'm trametra per autruy
lay vers Anjau,
que'm tramezes del sieu estuy
Bramley cites medieval journals
In his book gods of eden
That described UFOs
Which emitted noxious mists
The first reports of this
Began in the mid of fourteen century
At the same time of the
Epidemy of the black plague.
Bright lights crossed
Emitting gaseous mists
People said saw it coming in the streets
Creatures in black cloaks
Appeared in towns
Waving scithe emitting noxious mists.
These creatures had terrifying faces
And just after
There would be an outbreak
The Reaper is origined
From this alien creatures
Why they did this
Is a mystery
Black plague,
Black death,
Came from the skies,
That was close
Black plague,
Black death,
They saw us as a pest
Black as death soul not at rest demons feast ignorance total despair tremble in fear driven down to a blank stare there's no choice but to hear his voice a feats of mind and soul think your in control a weak heart he'll rip apart no mercy no care forever screams of horror and pain you'll now feel reality is now hell
Take down the bridges, don't let them through
They're coming and they're bearing gifts for you
Bring on our future now
Take out the weak
It was the only way it could have been
The selfish survive again
Fleet the scene
By any means stay alive
Destroyers! Murders that hide in disguise
Healers coming through, they're bleeding you
Wise men, coming through, spreading final breath
The good have come to spread disease this time
So cut me open wide
Oh let them purge this thing inside of me
Oh no, it won't subside
This town is caving in, who's left alive? Wonder what miracle we could contrive
I think I must be next, well overdue
Got nothing much left here to hold onto
The selfish survive again
Flee the scene
By any means stay alive
Destroyers! Murders that hide in disguise
Healers coming through, they're bleeding you
Wise men coming through, spreading final breath
The good have come to spread disease this time
So cut me open wide
Oh let them purge this thing inside of me
Oh no, it won't subside
Bloated corpses fill the city streets
Rast infest and bring disease
Spreads through vile ways
Rotten bodies lay and decay
Soul is bound
Death surrounds
We fade away
Cast our bodies in the bay
Black Death, the plague is among us
To seal our doom; our life is death's lust
Rotten flesh boils, the size of melons
The horror of the Black Death
Bury your dead with the living
In shallow graves afoot
There is no hope in sight
Covered deep in ash and soot
Loved ones scream
Boils to be
We're all damned
And we dance in Lucifer's hand
Black Death, the plague is among us
To seal our doom; our life is death's lust
Rotten flesh boils, the size of melons
Black death on the water
Black death in the air
Black death on the insects
Who nest in my hair
Black death all around us
Black death coming fast
Black death is the reason
That your kind won't last
Ring around the rosie
Pocket full of posie
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down
Black death all around us
Black death at my feet
Black death is the reason
It's unsafe to eat
Don't you come around here
If your want to last
If you don't like it
We'll kick your bloody ass
Around every corner
In every town
The feeling of death
It won't get me down
I'll fight to the finish
I'll fight till I die
Black death is the reason
Tragedy will fall upon you
You’ll be consumed in pain
Your flesh will turn pitch black
And your soul hell will claim
This hate I feel for you
Will make you suffer more
The way to set me free
Gives you a death full of gore
Crimson flames will burn you down
Pay for your betray now you must
I’ll watch you turn dust
Your skin will start to peel
It has become hard to breath
Believe this pain is real
Burning ‘til your life fades away
Hell fire will burn you up
Show me that you are brave
‘Cause tonight you’ll meet your grave
This flames will consume your last breath
Nothing lasts but your body carbonized
Meanwhile just wait for your black death
I wanna hear you scream as you burn
Burn, burn now
Pain drives you insane
Burn, burn down
Your life fire will drain
In pain you bow before me
Begging for what you won’t have
‘Cause mercy isn’t part of me
I’ll be laughing as you die
Burn motherfucker, burn
Now you see how weak life is
But a fool we won’t miss
This flames will consume your last breath
Nothing lasts but your body carbonized
Meanwhile just wait for your black death
I wanna hear you scream as you burn
Burn, burn now
Pain drives you insane
Burn, burn down
