Arch Enemy - Leader Of The Rats Lyrics






Crawling in the slime
Dirt infested minds
Always second best, leader of the rats
Spreading their disease

Hiding behind trivial cynicism
Venomous tongues spitting forth lies
So quick to criticize the life of others
Who are you to judge us

On a higher plain
Our art lives on forever
You are the scum beneath us
Fighting your pathetic battle

Anonymous animosity
Dirt infested minds

You hide behind trivial cynicism
Venomous tongues spitting forth lies
So quick to criticize the life of others
Who are you to judge us

Laughing right into your face
As we watch your infantile behaviour
Love us or hate us - we don't care
We never aimed to please you

Anonymous animosity
Dirt infested minds
Anonymous animosity
Spreading their disease

Always second best
Leader Of The Rats
Spreading their disease

  75. L.... R....

    como me quema la cabeza esta cancion me saca de quisio

  76. a.... ....

    I get funny feeling in my pants when ever i see her or hear her sing LOL

  77. F.... ....

    @ADHOK99 I heard it live at Metaltown just a week ago. It was awesome

  78. F.... ....

    i love all their albums except the remakes of the older ones. i love you angela but those songs were perfect the way they were. Anthems least favorite. i dont know if wages of sin or burning bridges is my favorite album... actually stigmata.... no wait.... oh fuck it. Arch Enemy kicks too much ass i love Angela and Johan you guys kick ass. Saw carcass not too long ago. the world is a great place

  79. t.... ....

    @douma4000 i don't think it's testosterone. i'd say it's rage and all the men know that women got plenty of that :D

  80. C.... ....

    @m00se321
    Very nice! Thanks for pointing that one out :)

  81. C.... ....

    Hell yeah! This is my favourite Arch Enemy song!

  82. F.... ....

    @masterded101 I dont think that he said it was from rise of the tyrant, just random Arch enemy pics he probably got of google. but yeah, definatly off of anthems. IMO their best album! AEFL!!

  83. D.... ....

    @masterded101 No its anthems of rebellion

  84. r.... ....

    @ADHOK99 ask them to play it ;)

  85. A.... B....

    bwahahahahahah you are the scum beneath us, fighting your pathetic battle. ^_^

  86. A.... B....

    bwahahahahahah

  87. R.... L....

    Whenever I listen to this song, I imagine Angela singing it to pop fans.

  88. P.... ....

    It sound's like Gollum singing =P

  89. g.... ....

    @gregmaster517 i agree

  90. r.... ....

    you guys have a sexual problem ,....seriously ,...

  91. r.... ....

    @ADHOK99 ask them to play it and they will bro

  92. a.... ....

    @gregmaster517 ummm im pretty sure angela is oneof the most beautiful woman out there!

  93. M.... ....

    @gregmaster517
    That´s somehow missing the point. Chris Barnes is ugly, and yet no one complains. Besides, you´re wrong. She´s got the looks, and more, the persona to accompany them.

  94. g.... ....

    that bitch is ugly

  95. V.... C....

    @ADHOK99 Because it probity hurts to sing like you have flem in your throat.

  96. d.... ....

    Ce porcarie what a shit +masonic eye and the pyramid!!

  97. a.... ....

    Yes he was..........at his PEAK!! j/k The best Carass solos where from Mr. Ammott IMHO. Main riff (this song) sounds like something Bill Steer would crank out.
