With the Rats and Snakes Lyrics

They came in droves

Scattered from the earth and stone

Each passing wave they overthrow

Rushed from their holes

Crawling through the cracks in thrall

A fever dream or so it seems

Snakes singing, no sins atoned

Rats gnashing our broken bones

Relentless desecration

All life cleaved from creation

The wretched bear the broken crown

Awake to chains that are bound to their throne

Praise the shrine built of old ghosts and bones

Through the cracks, within the waste, from the holes

With the rats and snakes we roam

Send them away

Alight the fields and turn their graves

Of only ashes will remain

Recite the holy scriptures once foretold

New rite of passage takes ahold

Snakes singing, no sins atoned

Rats gnashing our broken bones

Relentless desecration

All life cleaved from creation

The wretched bear the broken crown

Awake to chains that are bound to their throne

Praise the shrine built of old ghosts and bones

Through the cracks, within the waste, from the holes

With the rats and snakes we roam

Bound to their throne

Built of old ghosts and bones

The snakes will rise

As the rats will roam
