The Rats In the Walls Lyrics & Tabs by Morian
The Rats In the Walls
guitar chords lyrics
Fleeing scenes of insanity
Where heaven dwells beyond the wall of sleep
With darkness all about
They come forward, take me out
But after all you put me through
The spoils of war within are mine to keep
CHORUS:
I hear them calling me
The rats in the walls - reaching out to see
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - waiting for their share of me
I hear them calling me
The rats in the walls - reaching out to be
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - untying my ends of sanity
The rats in the walls - reaching out to be
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - untying my ends of sanity
Seeing the things that our vanity
Has made of those who watch and never sleep
With darkness all about
We come forward, take you out
And when we're finally through with you
The spoils of war within are buried deep
CHORUS
Tomorrow She Comes
So very strange
Have your dreams been lately
Her figure moving in the drift of time
So very strange
Have your schemes been lately
Caressing bodies without a rhyme
But hey – where're you gonna go now?
What'll it be now?
Redemption once again?
CHORUS:
Tomorrow she will take away the stain
Forgotten songs will come to pass
Tomorrow she'll be coming back again
Forgotten things within your grasp
So very wrong
Have your dreams been lately
Your body moving in the drift of time
So very wrong
Have your schemes been lately
You sowed your seed – now it's reaping time
But hey – where're you gonna go now?
What'll it be now?
Redemption once again?
CHORUS:
Tomorrow she will take away the stain
Forgotten songs will come to pass
Tomorrow she'll be coming back again
Forgotten things within your grasp
...Once again.
CHORUS
You've got to do it
You've got to get away
Flak Jacket
Daybreak - and it's more than you can take
On the shore of a dried up ocean
Commotion
As you break through the enemy lines
Daybreak - and there's something you can't shake
You saw reflections in their eyes
Makes you realize
You can't break through the enemy lines
Raise your hand - indisposed
Soldiers stand - indisposed
CHORUS:
Devil on your shoulder
And the monkey on your back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket
Guess you never told her
That you might not make it back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket tonight
Daybreak - and it's more than you can take
On the shore of a dried up ocean
Commotion
As you break through the enemy lines
Daybreak - and there's no way you can make it
The walls are crumbling down
Without a sound
You fall on the enemy lines
Raise your hand - indisposed
Soldiers stand - indisposed
CHORUS
And when it all was over
You were left without a name
All you got was laughter
And a life that was
...just a game
CHORUS
Sleep of the Just
One more time
I will try
I will try
To make my way home
From this lone exile
One more time
I will try
I will try
To meet someone on this final mile
For we're ever waiting
Anticipating
Slowly drifting to decay
CHORUS:
And I fear the day we're giving up this fight
Things running, going
Slipping, flowing out of sight
And I fear the day we're giving up this fight
Were running, waking to the wanderlust
From the sleep of the just
One more time
I will cry
I will cry
I'll shed a tear for
All this worthless guile
One more time
I will try
I will try
To find crossroads on my final mile
For we're ever waiting
Anticipating
Slowly drifting to decay
CHORUS
Recoil
Get up
What you see ain't what you get
Never knew looks can deceive
Find me a tower high enough to fall
Say can you feel me?
I'm rotting from inside
Say can you heal me?
CHORUS:
Outside all the doors are open
We close the eyes within
...Can you see me falling?
Getting whipped by reality
Getting whipped by life
We hide behind the words not spoken
Close the eyes within
...Can you see me falling?
Getting whipped by reality
Getting whipped by life
We recoil
Get up
What I thought was never said
Better know when it's time to leave
Broken in half and still seen standing tall
Say can you feel me?
I'm rotting from inside
Say can you heal me?
CHORUS
Get together, you all
Break your tether, you all
Cock the hammer and fear for the recoil
Warmongers' Ball
Could it be so
That we're forsaken
Could it be so
That we're mistaken
Could it be so that in all these years
I've never heard your name?
Could it be so that your war will be my dame?
CHORUS:
In this life you don't have to see the lies
Just take the cause within you
And bury it once and for all
In this life you don't have to think twice
The final waltz within you
Is safe in this warmongers' ball
Could it be so
That we're torn and shaken
Could it be so
Though we're awakened?
Could it be so that in all these years
I've never seen your face?
Could it be so that we're falling from this race?
Because tonight we're paid to dance
Stand up and feel no more
Get out your guns and do romance
Get down and be a whore
CHORUS
...And now the war is in your hands
Because tonight we're paid to dance
Stand up and feel no more
Get out your guns and do romance
Get down and be a whore
CHORUS
Smoke and Mirrors
All the nameless things that follow you
They will die eventually
Instead of memories that have run you through
There will be conformity
...There will be conformity
CHORUS:
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
There's still a chance to live without
Smoke and mirrors
All the things that were hidden from you
They're here for you to see
Now all these memories will see you through
To be a part of history
CHORUS:
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
There's still a chance to live without
(fear)
CHORUS:
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
And cast aside your doubts
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
There's still a chance to live without
Smoke and mirrors
Smoke and mirrors
Remains (To Be Seen)
There was a time to walk away from madness
Forget the demons lying at your feet
But all that's broken
CHORUS:
Remains to be seen if you'll be
Falling from your grace
Remains to be seen if you will stay
There was a place you could call your home
There was soil to plough and seeds to sow
A place to give your weary heart a haven
Resist the urge of diving deep below
But all that's broken
CHORUS
"So wake up, sleepy one
Rise and shine
For what will be left of the waking world
When you wake up
Once and for all
That remains to be seen."
CHORUS:
Remains to be seen if you'll be
Falling from your grace
Remains to be seen if you will stay
Remains to be seen if you'll be
Calling my name when there's
No one there for you
Remains to be seen if you will stay
Sleeping - you're sleeping now
Until the world falls down on you
Sleeping - you're sleeping now
Until the final wake-up call
...there's no one left to believe in
