Rat Queen

Lyrics

Meek subjects by torchlight
 Come to pay their respects
 As foretold by the ancient texts
 Line snaking down the sewer
 Reverent hush upon the crowd
 One by one we approach
 The figure in the shroud
 New dreams
 ♪
 New dreams for the rat queen
 ♪
 New dreams
 ♪
 New dreams for the rat queen
 ♪
 Great warm throbbing hum of the undercity
 At one with the purpose
 I am a faceless, nameless acolyte
 Here tonight at your service
 Take my visions, make them real
 Impose them on the world above
 All the dead sleepwalkers
 Who never learned how to love
 New dreams
 ♪
 New dreams for the rat queen
 ♪
 New dreams
 ♪
 New dreams for the rat queen
 ♪
 Brand new dreams, great visions
 
 Something heady and threatening
 On the boil in the kitchen
 Arise from the storm drains
 Take to the streets
 We who have never once tasted
 The stench of defeat
 Victory sweet as the dregs of the fast food dumpster
 Look how they jump when we show up
 Like they've just seen a monster
 New dreams
 ♪
 New dreams for the rat queen
 ♪
 New dreams
 ♪
 New dreams for the rat queen
