It's waiting around the corner It's waiting in the filth It's creeping through the alleys in the still of the night It's waiting in the ditches It's waiting there to kill its victims Woman, children, men and kings alike The moon shines frightening on deserted streets On movements there in the mud A nation wrapped up in winding sheets The pathogen's in your blood Reign of rats Reign of harm Feed the beast that's hungry Reign of rats Death and dark Feed the beast that's hungry It's waiting in your water It's waiting in your bed It's creeping through your backdoor in the still of the night It's waiting in the bushes It's waiting there for you And there is no escape no matter how hard you try The moon shines frightening on deserted streets On movements there in the mud A nation wrapped up in winding sheets The pathogen's in your blood Reign of rats Reign of harm Feed the beast that's hungry Reign of rats Death and dark Feed the beast that's hungry Reign of rats Reign of harm Feed the beast that's hungry Reign of rats Death and dark Feed the beast that's hungry Reign of rats Reign of harm Feed the beast that's hungry Reign of rats Death and dark Feed the beast that's hungry Feed the beast that's hungry
