An evil seeping through the soil, as death descends within the mist A shroud of darkness covers all, the grip of winter makes a fist A howling rises with the moon, the midnight hour comes around Macabre shadows from the tombs, unholy burial ground With our frozen breath, hear us calling We have chosen death, graveyard crawling An empty skull behind the eyes, where there's rhyme or reason And now the dead begin to rise, from this mausoleum Born to a pack of rabid wolves Raised on the sound of cloven hooves We are a nightmare coming flesh We are the legions of undead We feed the horrors that you dread We breed the monsters in your head Blood lust of vampire bats We are the cemetary rats We know the night is always darkest, before the dawning of the dead And as the sun begins to rise, the skies above us blood red The seventh circle spits us back and we ascend our sacred thrones Through the gates of hell, to transcend this sea of bones With our frozen breath, hear us calling We have chosen death, graveyard crawling We are a lost society, the freaks and fools encaptured But are we dead or are we free as we embrace the rapture Born to a pack of rabid wolves Raised on the sound of cloven hooves We are a nightmare coming flesh We are the legions of undead We feed the horrors that you dread We breed the monsters in your head Blood lust of vampire bats We are the cemetary rats Forever laid to rest Returned to mother earth Departed mortal coil And fed back to the worms To rise again someday And take the kingdom back Decaying but reborn We are the cemetary rats Born to a pack of rabid wolves Raised on the sound of cloven hooves We are a nightmare coming flesh We are the legions of undead We feed the horrors that you dread We breed the monsters in your head Blood lust of vampire bats We are the cemetary rats
