Sewer Rat Songtext
von Anomos

A corpse floats on the slime
Shades of black down every path a world under the soil
A pipeline stuffed with septic flesh holds still the water flow
Something abysmal lurks on high and my home is their burial ground
I smell the darkness in its soul, so I stay down below
You, you′re so pure you don't have a fucking clue
Just once taste my vile air and conceive of what you′ve put me through
Disease runs freely from the privy to the catacomb
Sick in colour, an exhort for your fragile inimunity
With no change i'll be forced to show my face
But only a creature would they see in me
This sanctuary of flies and reptiles is my own
All the walls painted with rot and then carpeted with bone
I wonder free while crocodilians protect my home
I'm always bleeding from the soul
Stuck here way down below
Now, beckoned in stain, back from the dead
Praised in hate for I′m not one to breathe air fresh and low
Driven by hate, leaving at flee my domain
In a bout of overwhelming degradation


Once there was a time, in place of wastes were ales and wine
And moonlight shone upon us gleefully
With broken rays of shine
Now it′s all but lost in the memory of a tragedy
Of a man with a tale from hell
This foul construct of caves deep corridors of grime
Madly through the darkness with a thousand workers time
Rest keeps my mind at ease until the midnight chimes
I'm always bleeding from the soul
Stuck here way down below
Now, beckoned in stain, back from the dead
Praised in hate for I′m not one to breathe air fresh and low
Driven by hate, leaving but flee my domain
In a bout of overwhelming degradation
Strapped my possessions to a belt I fashioned
From the hide of a white male
Studded with teeth
When vicious machinations burrow through me from the sky
For the first time in an aeon bearing witness to the sunlight
Even if I will for mercy, no longer do I hold the tongue of a man
Lay me in my crypt, sojourn for me to die, never really was I alive
In your children's nightmares I will survive
Lay me in my crypt, sojourn for me to die, never really was I alive
In your children′s nightmares I will survive, I will survive
The sanctuary of flies and reptiles is my own
All the walls painted with rot and carpeted with bone
I wander free while crocodilians protect my home
And you know you'll pay me in blood
Pay me in blood
Pay me in blood
Pay me in blood
Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood
Pay me in blood
Blood
