lyrics

Dark omen loosed from the Rhine,
instead of one it comes as nine
Putrid blight, united in filth, Rat King of Hell
Tails as one in agony,
to form perverted blasphemy
Scuttling madness, incarnated plague, Rat King of Hell
The vilest source for their cement,
blood, dirt and excrement
Black rat beast, brings black death, Rat King of Hell
Not content with its own harm,
its minds unite to guide the swarm
Carpeted disease, covering the land, Rat King of Hell

Messengers to cause descent,
bring poisoned fleas of Orient
As they died they did bemoan,
the scope of death before unknown
How come this King?
None knows why
See how they run
See how you die
Bubonic swelling grips the skin,
while seizures wrack with violent sin
The gangrene flesh a vile scent,
vomit blood 'til body's spent
How come this King?
None knows why
See how they run
See how you die

RATTENKONIG
The scores of eyes that steal men's souls
RATTENKONIG
The pus-caked mass that quashes life
RATTENKONIG
The hive-mind brain to lead them all
RATTENKONIG
Dark Beast of Hell
