Doom, destruction and despair, Grief and sorrow fill the air, Happy Birthday.
Birthdays come but once a year, Marking time as Death draws near, Happy Birthday.
May the cities in your wake Burn like candles on your cake, Happy Birthday. May your deeds with sword and axe Equal those with sheep and yaks, Happy Birthday. You must marry very soon, Baby's due the next full moon, Happy Birthday. Your servants steal, your wife's untrue, Your children plot to murder you, Happy Birthday. They stole your sword, your gold, your house, Took your sheep but not your spouse, Happy Birthday.
