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
