Rat King Lyrics by Goratory

Sour Grapes

2020

In the Kingdom of the animals, a genus like our kind
Is a population growing, neither serpent nor a swine
Rattus Rodentia!
In our filth, they flourish with a taste for waste
They're in every major city
Found in every ancient race
Dumpster diving, sewer-dwelling, nests are swelling
The order of the scavenger
When any civilization grows beyond their means
Nature will do as she please
Epic volumes building up a piss and blood and shit formation
Physically drowning in a sea of sludge
Wouldn't you think that a species of this kind
Would adapt to the climate of a permeating grime?
Rat bodies start to stick to one another!
Binding in the rot!
Panic starts to set in among the rat community
Sisters and brothers, conjoining to each other
Attempting to claw and climb their way out of this mess
A populace stressed
Twisting and writhing in untimely death
Squirming and shrieking the woes of this nest
A new beast spawned as the hearts stop beating
A vile phenomenon begins to manifest
A rat king is born
The only form of nature that grows in death
Fused in decay
Suffocate in filth
A monster being built
Turning on each other because in death, there is no guilt
There's only so much space
An overcrowded place
Getting out alive is a goddamn rat race
