Fleeing scenes of insanity
Where heaven dwells beyond the wall of sleep
With darkness all about
They come forward, take me out
But after all you put me through
The spoils of war within are mine to keep
CHORUS:
I hear them calling me
The rats in the walls - reaching out to see
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - waiting for their share of me
I hear them calling me
The rats in the walls - reaching out to be
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - untying my ends of sanity
Seeing the things that our vanity
Has made of those who watch and never sleep
With darkness all about
We come forward, take you out
And when we're finally through with you
The spoils of war within are buried deep
