Rat King

Lyrics

[Intro] One small crown in the dark One name passed hand to hand [Verse 1] Found it tucked beneath the rubble A worn-out grip, a silent vow Every guardian carries trouble But no one walks alone here now We crossed the salt flats under fire While Cabal iron shook the ground Your shot became the signal And our scattered feet turned round [Pre-Chorus] Keep close, keep count The line holds when we stand as one [Chorus] Rat King, rise when the whole crew answers Small arms, but the brave hearts gather Shoulder to shoulder through the smoke and flame One hidden crown, one unbroken name Rat King, run with the pack beside you Fall, come back, let the bond revive you No legend is made by a hand alone We claim the dark, then we bring you home [Verse 2] Old stories carved in rusted doorways A whispered trail through Titan rain We learned the map by missing pieces We learned the cost, then tried again Your signal cut across the chaos A brief flash, then the swarm was gone The blade that seemed so small at first Could turn the whole fight when we moved as one [Pre-Chorus] Keep close, keep count The line holds when we stand as one [Chorus] Rat King, rise when the whole crew answers Small arms, but the brave hearts gather Shoulder to shoulder through the smoke and flame One hidden crown, one unbroken name Rat King, run with the pack beside you Fall, come back, let the bond revive you No legend is made by a hand alone We claim the dark, then we bring you home [Bridge] If you go down, I turn around If I lose sight, you call me out No throne, no deed, no vault of gold Could weigh as much as the ones we hold [Final Chorus] Rat King, rise when the whole crew answers Small arms, but the brave hearts gather Shoulder to shoulder through the smoke and flame One hidden crown, one unbroken name Rat King, run with the pack beside you Fall, come back, let the bond revive you No legend is made by a hand alone We claim the dark, then we bring you home [Outro] One small crown in the dark One name passed hand to hand
