Lord of Rats
Did you believe it would go this far, unreconciled?
They couldn't see you for what they are as the bodies piled up
Surrender the past
We'll burn it all back down to ash
We're stuck in the ruse
Now that's it's all that we ask
Ensnared by the promise land
Of godhood in tact
Now there's no shelter
They gave us away in a flash
No sensible comfort
Forgiveness is all we could lack
Watching the house ignite
Knowing you're still inside
A haunting gesture
Now please, would you cover your eyes?
Now I'm the Lord of Rats
My crown better served as a mask
Forgiveness is all we could lack
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
Make for the exit
And break for the horrid chase of sinew, disconnected
We're sworn to directives
Our silence contained in a much more flawed incentive
Our bodies attached
We will become more, we will surpass
The backend of truth, the way they did in the past
In the hunt for a blessed lamb
The light would retract
And I couldn't help her
The blind stumbled into the gaps
Like matches in concert
The few couldn't pardon the mass
Watching the place ignite
Knowing you're still inside
A haunting gesture
You're burning our promise alive
Now I'm the Lord of Rats
My crown better served as a mask
Forgiveness is all we could lack
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
They couldn't see you for what they are as the bodies piled up
Surrender the past
We'll burn it all back down to ash
We're stuck in the ruse
Now that's it's all that we ask
Ensnared by the promise land
Of godhood in tact
Now there's no shelter
They gave us away in a flash
No sensible comfort
Forgiveness is all we could lack
Watching the house ignite
Knowing you're still inside
A haunting gesture
Now please, would you cover your eyes?
Now I'm the Lord of Rats
My crown better served as a mask
Forgiveness is all we could lack
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
Make for the exit
And break for the horrid chase of sinew, disconnected
We're sworn to directives
Our silence contained in a much more flawed incentive
Our bodies attached
We will become more, we will surpass
The backend of truth, the way they did in the past
In the hunt for a blessed lamb
The light would retract
And I couldn't help her
The blind stumbled into the gaps
Like matches in concert
The few couldn't pardon the mass
Watching the place ignite
Knowing you're still inside
A haunting gesture
You're burning our promise alive
Now I'm the Lord of Rats
My crown better served as a mask
Forgiveness is all we could lack
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
The brighter, the better
