Actually the Black Death did not discriminate between rich and poor; it killed everyone from paupers to yeoman to bishops and knights

@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Funny how diseases tend not to discriminate. I think the story in the song was that fear was what killed the rich people inside the castle walls "who didn't move and played it safe."

Strange only Christians died

@TheAmazingamerica, I'm not sure only Christians died but I have heard that Jews did not die in the numbers Christians did and even Christians in towns with large Jewish populations fared better. My speculation is maybe Jewish people were a bit more sanitary, and if they represented a larger part of the population may have influenced their neighbors. I think that would be a topic worth further checking.

This always seemed like such an odd "song" for a rock band, but it is truly mind expanding as were many songs of the era.

@peckerwood57 The song never did fit well with any of my play lists but as a stand alone it made a hell of a statement.
