Rat King Legends

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rat King Legends, four in the fireteam chat, “Everybody ready?” “Yeah.” Nobody’s ready for that. One’s still in orbit, one’s changing a perk, One says, “Give me a minute”—then disappears to work. [Pre-Chorus] The launch timer’s ticking, the match is on its way, “Wait, my controller’s blinking!”—we’re already in the fray. [Chorus] Rat King Legends, climbing up the wall, Building us a family while we bungle every call. We’re gonna own the stars, put our name up in lights— Somebody went AFK again halfway through the fight! We scream, we fall, we laugh, we reappear, Glory’s just a wipe screen when your friends are still here. Rat King Legends, we’re a beautiful mess— Not ready, not ready, but we’re still the best! [Verse 2] “Group up!” cries the captain; we scatter down the hall, A rocket finds a teammate—our finest play of all. I dodge into a wall, then launch myself below, The kill feed reads my name like it’s putting on a show. [Pre-Chorus] A battery hits zero; somebody’s gone to get a snack, We swear we’ve got a strategy—then run the same way back. [Chorus] Rat King Legends, climbing up the wall, Building us a family while we bungle every call. We’re gonna own the stars, put our name up in lights— Somebody went AFK again halfway through the fight! We scream, we fall, we laugh, we reappear, Glory’s just a wipe screen when your friends are still here. Rat King Legends, we’re a beautiful mess— Not ready, not ready, but we’re still the best! [Bridge] “Who’s got the banner?” “I thought you had the banner!” “Why am I on fire?” “That was probably my grenade!” The boss is still standing, our ammo’s running thin, We’re laughing so hard that we forget we’re supposed to win. [Final Chorus] Rat King Legends, climbing up the wall, Building us a family; we’ll answer every call. We’ll take the stars someday, put our name up in lights— Once the controller charges and we’re all back in the fight! We scream, we fall, we laugh, we reappear, No fame beats the chaos of the people we hold dear. Rat King Legends, hear the whole clan confess— Not ready, not ready, but we’re still the best! [Outro] “Ready?” “Ready!” “Wait—who’s gone AFK?”
