The Rat King
These clouds are stifling who knew we had to breathe
Mask and despair only thing between me and the chlorine
They're killing us in droves
The path ahead no man should ever know
Keeping my head low
Another fly by gunning for my soul
Our stories will be told
By our mangled corpses soon be bone
Death always takes its toll
Amid the slaughter
The rat king spoke to Me
Tonight my mischief feasts
There is no shelter in sight
Their lives hang on the breeze
Lay down and dine with me
I can't feel anything below my knees
Trench filled with blood or mud it's never-ending
Whose sins will we atone
When we've done things no man should ever know
Bodies growing cold
I can't stand to dig another hole
Our orders growing bold
Promised mom and dad that I'd come home
Lying takes its toll
Amid the slaughter
The rat king spoke to Me
Tonight my mischief feasts
There is no shelter in sight
Their lives hang on the breeze
Lay down and dine with me
I can't feel anything lost all sensibility
Machine gun fire barbed wire never-ending
Amid the slaughter
The rat king spoke to Me
Tonight my mischief feasts
There is no shelter in sight
Their lives hang on the breeze
Lay down and dine with me
Mask and despair only thing between me and the chlorine
They're killing us in droves
The path ahead no man should ever know
Keeping my head low
Another fly by gunning for my soul
Our stories will be told
By our mangled corpses soon be bone
Death always takes its toll
Amid the slaughter
The rat king spoke to Me
Tonight my mischief feasts
There is no shelter in sight
Their lives hang on the breeze
Lay down and dine with me
I can't feel anything below my knees
Trench filled with blood or mud it's never-ending
Whose sins will we atone
When we've done things no man should ever know
Bodies growing cold
I can't stand to dig another hole
Our orders growing bold
Promised mom and dad that I'd come home
Lying takes its toll
Amid the slaughter
The rat king spoke to Me
Tonight my mischief feasts
There is no shelter in sight
Their lives hang on the breeze
Lay down and dine with me
I can't feel anything lost all sensibility
Machine gun fire barbed wire never-ending
Amid the slaughter
The rat king spoke to Me
Tonight my mischief feasts
There is no shelter in sight
Their lives hang on the breeze
Lay down and dine with me
