The Rats in the Walls Lyrics by She Must Burn

Umbra Mortis

0

No love for a celestial symbol
Only worship of an auric clad imperial
Ordained with the toils of one thousand men
‘’In the name of their salvation This greed it brings the end.’’
Why deny such a high state of life
The wolves are clawing at the door
The rats are watching from the walls
The falsities of a rotting mind
With his sanity aligned
A molten crown of gold it was mine
Luminescent
Reflecting cruelly
It haunts him to a maddened twitch
A scratch that can’t be itched
Buried so deep within his thoughts
‘’A king should never feel this way
But riches wine & gold they did pave’’
I feel these walls come down, All around
Paved in gold. Is my soul
It is all I’ve ever known
In the shadow of my greed
Is this the end for me?
From the poor
Lock my door
Thou shalt never take what’s yours
All of this he knows to fucking well
As he slowly drowns in his own personal hell
Like drinking water from the ocean
A thirst unquenchable
With every sip to every swallow I bid thee now
Welcome to eternal Judication
A life in exile a martyred proclamation
To turn before the nights as black as coal
A face peers through the dark a wraith now sent
To reap & steal you his soul
Clutched in these dead hands
I wished to die with my greed
With nothing else left to gain
Only possessions to lose
All that has ever been
Going to, ever will
Atop this throne
I’d sit and I’d wonder why
In greed I survive
Like rats in the pipes
This avarice nullified sleeping at night
Like King Midas rich forever
Id count each piece by piece
Paved in gold
Is my soul
It is all I’ve ever known
Seeds of greed planted deep beneath a shattered throne
From them a golden tree of hatred it does grow
Around his throat it's thorns begin to cling
To the branches from where henceforth
He will eternally swing
