Sewer Rat Lyrics


A corpse floats on the slime

Shades of black down every path a world under the soil

A pipeline stuffed with septic flesh holds still the water flow

Something abysmal lurks on high and my home is their burial ground

I smell the bloodlust in it's soul, so i stay down below

You, you're so pure, you don't have a fucking clue

Just once taste my vile air and conceive of what you've put me through

Disease runs freely from the privy to the catacombs

Sick in colour, an exhort to your fragile in immunities

With no change I'll be forced to show my face

But only a creature would they see in me

This sanctuary of flies and reptiles is my own

All the walls painted with rot and then carpeted with bone

I wander free while troglodillians protect my home

I'm always bleeding from the soul

Stick here way down below

Chorus: Now, beckoned in stain back to the dead

Praised in hate for I'm not one to breath air fresh and lo'

Driven by pain, leaving at flee my domain in a bout of overwhelming degradation

Once there were a time in place of waste were ales and wine

And moonlight shone upon us gleefully

with broken rays of shine

Now it's all but lost in the memory of a tragedy of a man with a tale from hell

This foul construct of caves, deep corridors of grime

Twisting madly through the darkness with a thousand workers time

Best keep my mind at ease until the midnight chimes

I'm always bleeding from the soul, so i stay down below

Chorus: Now, beckoned in stain back to the dead

Praised in hate for I'm not one to breath air fresh and lo'

Driven by pain, leaving at flee my domain in a bout of overwhelming degradation

Strapped my possessions to a belt I fashioned from the hide of a white male studded with teeth

When vicious machinations burrow to me from the sky

For the first time in an aeon baring witness to the sunlight

Even if I would will for mercy

No longer do I hold the tongue of a man

Lay me in my crib sojourn for me to die, never really was I alive

In your children's nightmares I will survive (x2)

This sanctuary of flies and reptiles is my own

All the walls painted with rot and then carpeted with bone

I wander free while troglodillians protect my home

And you know you'll pay me in blood

Pay me in blood.
