Lyrics
Rats
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The taste of life is bitter and sour
Rodent mankind just exists to devour
My faith in everything that I came to be
Humanity decays ´till the last degree
Rats!
Dirty mice play the pipe and lead me away
Good men shake my hand in upcoming betray
Rattus sapiens built up this grave new world
Like a bubonic love, hope is a plague to be unfurled
Rats!
Why should I sing?
My words won´t change anything.
Why would you care?
Your life the rats will not spare!
Rats!
All moral values are disguised neurosis
All mercy is deadly just like leptospirosis
An honest world is everything the rats feign
Just to bite my eyes and feed on my brain
So come and join
The happy feasts
Your flesh and mind
Will feed the beasts
