Lair of Rats

from In the Shadow of Doom by Faustcoven

lyrics

To these bleak ancestral lands
I have returned
Where the ruins of my name
haunt the ruins of my keep

Desperate homicidal escape
Generations spent in exile
Fallen priory on the hill
A dread that lives ever on

Thus hatred, fear and scorn is all I get
But The loathing of peasants is naught to me
Now let these walls rise again

Again my crest crowns these gates
Gothic towers risen from rubble
Vaults reclaimed from the abiding darkness
Foundations as old as the stones

Lead (GMH)
Lead (ESB)

Lead (GMH)

And deeper still
Where the roots of the earth lies black
A spectral swarm is stirring
And dreadful hunger swells

Is this madness come calling?
Howling through the cracks in the walls?
Scurrying through dim corridors?
Like the cursed blood in my veins

Bursting out of darkness
Running for the light
A crawling infestation
An all consuming force
Tainted inheritance
I heed your call!

Madness of the tombs
Here I come

Lead (ESB)
