Emmure - Rat King Lyrics






We are the hate (we are the hate) that you created (that you created)
Born again in the grave you tried to put us in

No, no we will not be stopped
You can kill me, but you can't kill us all
And when they come to test your faith
Will you still believe in me?

Cause I believe in you, I believe in you
We are the scarred, beautiful and flawed

Nobody's perfect, don't believe the hype
It's time you open your fucking eyes
And take a look inside, I am inside of you, I am inside of you

So no, you can kill me, but you can't kill us all
And when they come to test your faith
Will you still believe in me?

Cause I believe in you, I believe in you
We are the scarred, beautiful and flawed

Nobody's perfect, don't believe the hype
It's time you open your fucking eyes
And take a look inside, I am inside of you, I am inside of you

Emmure Rat King Comments
  1. T.... ....

    As a previous commentator pointed out, but...

    Rat King: a collection of rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together by one of several possible mechanisms, such as entangling material like hair or sticky substances like sap or gum. The number of rats joined together varies from a few to as many as 32.

    Very apt title, however surely it's in a positive context here as opposed to referencing Rat King as a bad omen or superstition.

    After all, "Would you still believe in me; cause I believe in YOU

    I believe, in you."

    Rat King is also a TMNT villian, what with Frankie being a comic nerd and all.

    Overall a good concept song. The lyrics go along with the rat king phenomenon. And that killer riff at 0:30 was just made for a circle pitt/two step! Just awesome.

    "Rat kings involve a number of rats intertwined at their tails, which become stuck together with blood, dirt, ice, or feces - or simply knotted. The animals reputedly grow together while joined at the tails. The numbers of rats joined together can vary, but rat kings formed naturally from a large number of rats occur more rarely. The phenomenon is particularly associated with Germany, which may have produced the majority of reported instances. Historically, various superstitions surround rat kings, and they were often seen[by whom?] as a bad omen, particularly associated with plagues."
