The Black Dahlia Murder
Dawn of Rats
[Verse 1]
Blood of our revenge awash
None sweeter to the taste
Flagellate the liar
Our verminous desire, it must be slaked
These walls don't talk
But we've seen more than our piece
When you'd felt you're being watched
You were indeed, we rats have seen

[Chorus]
When the silken robes of sodomy
Fell vacant at your feet
Did your god he cough into his sleeve

[Verse 2]
The guilt, how it hangs
Like chains, an albatross of shame
Smell the reek of lie
The dawn at which you'll die has come today
These walls don't talk
But we hear most everything
When your hand covered their mouths
Your ecstasy, their stifled screams
No truth so fucking vile
As the one you must face
[Chorus]
When the silken robes of sodomy
Fell vacant at your feet
Did your god he cough into his sleeve
Did he toast with you
To their innocence
So fleeting and so sweet?
The dawn has come of your defeat
We the rats must have our feast

[Verse 3]
Verminous legions attack
Devour in frenzy this unsacred flesh
We gorge at the raped ones' behest
Leave nary a bone unpecked

[Chorus]
When the silken robes of sodomy
Fell vacant at your feet
Did your god he cough into his sleeve
Did he toast with you
To their innocence
So fleeting and so sweet?
The dawn has come of your defeat
We the rats must have our feast
When the silken robes of sodomy
Fell vacant at your feet
Did your god he cough into his sleeve
Did he toast with you
To their innocence
So fleeting and so sweet?
The dawn has come of your defeat
We the rats must have our feast
