Out with the Rats

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Saint Patrick marched with fire in stride, Through the mud and the cold where the rats would hide, Eyes of steel, voice like thunder, Rats scattering wide, torn asunder. [Verse 2] Creepin’ through fields where the whiskey flows, Under the hills where the shamrock grows, Rats in the taverns, rats in the hall, Saint Patrick’s fury would crush ‘em all. [Chorus - Chant-Like, Rowdy] Out with the rats! Banish the scourge! Our Land healed, a righteous purge! Raise your glass and shout hooray! Saint Patrick’s wrath drove the rats away! [Verse 3] Through hills and glens where wolves would prowl, He stood his ground as demons howled, Cast his word where doubt took hold, Turned stone to faith, and iron to gold. [Verse 4] Saint Pat stormed from the wild sea’s spray, Cross in hand, with words to say, Lit the fires where dark had been, Turned the tide where sin did grin. [Chorus - Chant-Like, Rowdy] Out with the rats! Banish the scourge! Our Land healed, a righteous purge! Raise your glass and shout hooray! Saint Patrick’s wrath drove the rats away! [Instrumental] [Bridge] Through the valleys and the rolling moors, He hunted the rats from every shore, A holy rage, a roaring cheer, The rats were gone, the land was clear. [Instrumental] [Chorus - Chant-Like, Wild Finish] Out with the rats! Gone with their filth! Where clovers bloom and stout’s been spilt! Raise your glass, let’s drink and cheer, Saint Patrick’s might drove the rats from here! [Instrumental Breakdown] [Chorus] Out with the rats! Banish the scourge! Our Land healed, a righteous purge! Raise your glass and shout hooray! Saint Patrick’s wrath drove the rats away!
