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
