lyrics

On the battlefield, we thrive and breed
Feeding on your waste and filth.
Crawling through mud and rot, spreading like disease
Your suffering is our wealth

Millions act as one, our numbers unending
Every individual is king
Strike one down, a hundred come
Here we rule supreme

Chorus
Armies massing
Legions advancing
From the beginning
The rats were winning

Expanding across the fields of war
What do you see in our eyes?
No fear of flame or shrieking iron
You feed our hunger as you die

We belong to no nation
We carry no flag
After you scorch the earth
We are the only ones to remain

Chorus

You are masters of your own destruction
We feed off your decay
Multiplying from your corruption
Growing strong as you fade

Millions act as one, our numbers unending
Every individual is king
Strike one down, a hundred more will come
We wait for your death, grinning

Chorus
