Rat King - Dark Sermon

Father, am I too blind to see?

Father, have you forsaken me?

Father, am I too blind to see?

Father, how have you forsaken me?

Caked in blood and soiled in dirt

Am I the rat king?

Crucified for blessing the earth

Am I truly the rat king?

What kingdom is this?

Navigate the maze, become lost in the gutter’s own

This cannot be my domain;

there must be more than what is shown

Knotted tails and broken teeth adorn the throne

I cannot inherit this domain, this mountainous sin to be atoned

Caked in blood and soiled in dirt

Am I the rat king?

Crucified for blessing the earth

Am I truly the rat king?

I heal the wounded and the violently ill

I am the rat king

I wear the crown, I lead the march upon the hill

I am the rat king, so crucify me

Bow your head and swallow your will

I am the rat king, so crucify me now

Pray until your patience rivals your will

I am the rat king, so crucify me

Those who worship are suffering still

I am the rat king
