This is a great great song, It brings up images of someone on Death Row or someone sentenced to death from a disease or otherwise.

A woman wrapped in white linen who calls out the plague. This makes me think of a Sin Eater. The Sin Eater's job is to free one who is dying of their sins by eating usually a piece of bread if I recall correctly symbolizing the sins of the condemned so they do not go to hell.
