[Verse] Crawl the tunnels The filth is mine Sharp teeth Sharp mind Divine I'm the brain The schemer The claw They’re all drooling fools No law [Chorus] I am the Rat King Bow to my reign The smartest alive Yet I’m trapped in the chain All of them scurry All of them scream Idiots dreaming the same damned dream [Verse 2] Burrows deep where the shadows writhe Plot my rise while the fools connive Whiskered imbeciles Plotting schemes They think they’re me But it’s all disease [Prechorus] Scratching Biting They’ll never see Only one mind And that mind’s me [Chorus] I am the Rat King Bow to my reign The smartest alive Yet I’m trapped in the chain All of them scurry All of them scream Idiots dreaming the same damned dream [Bridge] Poison in the air Poison in the soul Digging deeper The endless hole Rats in circles Rats in lies We’re all the same Just in disguise
