In times of turmoil
In times like these
Beliefs contagious
Spreading disease
This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go, never to let go
Them rats (rats, rats, rats)
Into your sanctum
You let them in
Now all your loved ones
And all your kin
Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of god
Never to forgive, never to forgive
Them rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
This devastation left your cities to be burnt
Never to return, never to return
Them filthy rodents are still coming for your souls
Never to let go, never to let go
Them rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
They're still coming after you
(Ooh whoa)
And there's nothing you can do
(Ooh whoa)
They're still coming after you
(Ooh whoa)
And there's nothing you can do
(Ooh whoa)
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
In times like these
Beliefs contagious
Spreading disease
This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go, never to let go
Them rats (rats, rats, rats)
Into your sanctum
You let them in
Now all your loved ones
And all your kin
Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of god
Never to forgive, never to forgive
Them rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
This devastation left your cities to be burnt
Never to return, never to return
Them filthy rodents are still coming for your souls
Never to let go, never to let go
Them rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
Rats (rats, rats, rats)
Ooh whoa
They're still coming after you
(Ooh whoa)
And there's nothing you can do
(Ooh whoa)
They're still coming after you
(Ooh whoa)
And there's nothing you can do
(Ooh whoa)
Rats (rats, rats, rats)

Here's the answer from the bands lead singer Tobias Forge 'It's actually not technically about rodents. It's about something spreading as wildfire and completely destroying things quicker than you know. It was how the plague started in Europe. It was basically a couple of merchant ships that had been over in Crimea. A few of them sailed into the port of Messina in Sicily, and according to the legend, from the ship came rats and they were carrying the fleas that had this bubonic plague. Almost everyone on the ship was dead and dying.'
