Rat King Legends

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rat King Legends, squad invite at nine We’ll build a family, climb the ranks, become divine “Everybody ready?”—four say “yeah,” one says “wait” The launch timer’s counting down; we’re already late [Pre-Chorus] Then the match begins, the fireteam’s down to three One went AFK to answer the doorbell, apparently Another’s controller blinks its final little light We’re heroes of the Tower—if we can stay online tonight [Chorus] Rat King Legends, climbing up to fame Screaming, fighting, dying, then we do it all again We kill ourselves with rockets just to make the whole team laugh Our glory’s on the scoreboard; our K/D’s doing math Not ready! Not ready! The launch screen’s turning red One guy’s gone AFK, one controller’s dead Rat King Legends, loud and slightly late We’ll build a family—after one more wipe at the gate [Verse 2] “Push left!” “I’m reloading!” “Who just fell below?” A revive train’s derailed where the Vex are putting on a show We charge in like champions, then bounce off of a wall The clan chat says “great teamwork”—nobody believes us all [Pre-Chorus] The boss is nearly finished, we can taste the sweet success Then someone’s mic goes quiet—“Guys? I need a sec.” A battery warning flashes; our last guardian goes still We’re legends in the making, mostly lying on the hill [Chorus] Rat King Legends, climbing up to fame Screaming, fighting, dying, then we do it all again We kill ourselves with rockets just to make the whole team laugh Our glory’s on the scoreboard; our K/D’s doing math Not ready! Not ready! The launch screen’s turning red One guy’s gone AFK, one controller’s dead Rat King Legends, loud and slightly late We’ll build a family—after one more wipe at the gate [Bridge] Hold on, the boss is down! We actually survived! Who’s still here? …Two of us. The others have revived— Their controllers, I mean. They’re back! We’ve got a plan! “Ready?” “Not yet!” “I’m changing batteries, man!” [Final Chorus] Rat King Legends, climbing up to fame Screaming, fighting, dying, then we do it all again We kill ourselves with rockets, then we laugh and take the blame A family built on fireteams, bad timing, and a name Not ready! Not ready! The launch screen’s turning red One guy’s gone AFK, one controller’s dead Rat King Legends, we’ll conquer every gate— Just give us five more minutes. We are absolutely late! [Outro] Rat King Legends! “Ready?” “…My controller died.”
