6. Lair of Rats (5:10)
To these bleak ancestral lands
I have returned
Where the ruins of my name
haunt the ruins of my keep
Desperate homicidal escape
Generations spent in exile
Fallen priory on the hill
A dread that lives ever on
Thus hatred, fear and scorn is all I get
But The loathing of peasants is naught to me
Now let these walls rise again
Again my crest crowns these gates
Gothic towers risen from rubble
Vaults reclaimed from the abiding darkness
Foundations as old as the stones
Lead (GMH)
Lead (ESB)
Lead (GMH)
And deeper still
Where the roots of the earth lies black
A spectral swarm is stirring
And dreadful hunger swells
Is this madness come calling?
Howling through the cracks in the walls?
Scurrying through dim corridors?
Like the cursed blood in my veins
Bursting out of darkness
Running for the light
A crawling infestation
An all consuming force
Tainted inheritance
I heed your call!
Madness of the tombs
Here I come
Lead (ESB)
I have returned
Where the ruins of my name
haunt the ruins of my keep
Desperate homicidal escape
Generations spent in exile
Fallen priory on the hill
A dread that lives ever on
Thus hatred, fear and scorn is all I get
But The loathing of peasants is naught to me
Now let these walls rise again
Again my crest crowns these gates
Gothic towers risen from rubble
Vaults reclaimed from the abiding darkness
Foundations as old as the stones
Lead (GMH)
Lead (ESB)
Lead (GMH)
And deeper still
Where the roots of the earth lies black
A spectral swarm is stirring
And dreadful hunger swells
Is this madness come calling?
Howling through the cracks in the walls?
Scurrying through dim corridors?
Like the cursed blood in my veins
Bursting out of darkness
Running for the light
A crawling infestation
An all consuming force
Tainted inheritance
I heed your call!
Madness of the tombs
Here I come
