The Rat King Lyrics

Childhood memories are fading into broken dreams

Everything is changing fast, dismantling your entire past

Misery is what the future holds for you

And I will never really care, watch me reaching for your share

And they're long gone, all your dreams, they don't matter

Souls for sale and hire, all to my desire

Heed now, walk away when the flute sounds

For the rats will follow and there's no tomorrow

You break the silence, I bring you violence

Absence of mind is making my cause right

A true believer, the great deceiver

Illness I bring, follow the Rat King

Father can you hear me, are you lingering here still?

I am feasting on your flesh, slowly bleeding you to death

Bow to me and crown me ruler of the land

Carry me and feed my spawn while I deliver ageless dawn

And it's alright, watch your world burn to cinder

Wallow in its ashes, kneeling with the masses

Back down, stand aside when I say so

Or it will be your end, don't you know that when

You break the silence, I bring you violence

Absence of mind is making my cause right

A true believer, the great deceiver

Illness I bring, follow the Rat King

I am here to stay, slither and betray

Spreading my decay

I create disease, make you starve and freeze

Falling to your knees

I satiate the mouths of many

Your childrens future, my main course

Absorb, devour all that we can eat

My pestilence will consume you

You break the silence, I bring you violence

Absence of mind is making my cause right

A true believer, the great deceiver

Illness I bring, follow the Rat King

And when the night falls I raise the hunt calls

Nowhere to hide when your eyes are shut and hands tied

Time for submission, enter coalition

Reaking of sin, I am the Rat King, I am the Rat king

I am him

I am him
