Lyrics
Release the rats and watch them fight
Initiating a conflict by releasing rats and observing their battle.
Fighting for their lives in the middle of the night
Rats fighting for survival during the night.
Watch them fight watch them fight
Emphasizing the spectacle of the rat fight.
I think I can see the Rat King
Perceiving the presence of the Rat King.
Catch those rats and watch them cry
Capturing the defeated rats and witnessing their distress.
Crying so much that they soon will die
Rats crying to the extent that their demise is imminent.
Soon will die its decided
Expressing the inevitability of their death.
I think I can see the Rat King
Reiterating the perception of the Rat King.
In my town the people
Setting the scene in the town where people gather at night.
Come out at night and march to the middle
Nighttime procession to a central location.
In a ring not that small
Describing a sizable ring for the events to unfold.
Release the rats and then we watch them
Repeating the release of rats, introducing a ritualistic element.
To the death last standing
Emphasizing a fight to the death, with only one survivor.
Who will win well that's all depending
Uncertain outcome, as victory depends on the rat battles.
A great king a small crown
Portraying the Rat King as great, despite a small crown.
Who ever wins then we always shall bow down
Committing to bowing down to the winner, respecting their authority.
Take those rats and hold them high
Taking control of the rats and presenting them to the Rat King.
Show the Rat King that you are mine
Displaying loyalty and ownership to the Rat King.
You are mind only time
Claiming possession of the Rat King, asserting dominance.
I know I can see the Rat King
Reaffirming the perception of the Rat King's presence.
You will never escape this feast
Asserting that there is no escape from the Rat King's influence.
The Rat Kings hungry so no need to scream
Highlighting the Rat King's hunger and the futility of resistance.
So it seams help up here comes the Rat King
Anticipating the arrival of the Rat King, with no hope for escape.
In my town the people
Returning to the town setting, emphasizing the Rat King's central role.
Are in the ground and he's in the middle
Portraying the people as subservient to the Rat King's dominion.
He is king we are pawns
Establishing the hierarchical relationship between the Rat King and the people.
Release the rats and then he'll watch us
Repeating the ritual of releasing rats, subjecting the people to scrutiny.
Till the death last crawling
Describing a prolonged struggle until the last individual succumbs.
Who is eaten and then he's applauding
Highlighting the Rat King's approval of the consumed individuals.
He is king we are pawns
Reiterating the power dynamic between the Rat King and the people.
He has won and now we shall bow down
Declaring the victory of the Rat King and the submission of the people.
