We interrupt With a serious message! New York City Has been overrun By mutated rats The disease spreaders Have brought A new plague Which will turn humans into Flesh eating zombies With just one bite This has caused New York City To be renamed Dead Rat City The city is in full quarantine And everyone Should stay away

Welcome to the Dead Rat City Way down in the sewer, something awful awaits Diseases spread and evolve, no-one will be safe Eating their own family, they start to mutate Bringing only death, filled with rot and decay Moving up, crawling through the streets Lookout, they run around your feet One bite, they won’t feel any pity Welcome to the Dead Rat City Trapped in a city full of nightmares, there is no escape Destruction to all of mankind, this is a new plague Everything deserted, for them to violate Corpses decaying, they will annihilate Moving up, crawling through the streets Lookout, they run around your feet One bite, they won’t feel any pity Welcome to the Dead Rat City

Dead man walks around From grave into the town sickness in their veins Running in the drains From the pits of hell The corpses rise again Blood, flesh and bones Man is overthrown Crawling to you, say your last goodbye They’re hunting you down, like a prey at night Spreading the plague, from an unknown blight They are coming for your life Satan has given birth To monsters on the earth. Nowhere to hide From the deadly bite Crawling to you, say your last goodbye They’re hunting you down, like a prey at night Spreading the plague, from an unknown blight They are coming for your life Crawling to you, say your last goodbye They’re hunting you down, like a prey at night Crawling to you, say your last goodbye They’re hunting you down, like a prey at night Spreading the plague, from an unknown blight They are coming for your life

Verse 1: The world is cold, yes the world is bleak A rotten nest, where all the hatred breeds A new day rises with no hope to be free Towards destruction will the demons creep Verse 2: Filled with war and hate and screaming and death Trouble might come on our journey ahead On this night, the only thing I can tell I’m by your side in this living hell Chorus: In the nights embrace, I will hold your hand, We will walk away, into the promised land. Far away from here, in a better place, Together we will be, in the nights embrace. Verse 3: come away with me from this wretched place When we’re together everything we can face No matter what, no matter where Whatever happens, I will always be there Chorus: In the nights embrace, I will hold your hand, We will walk away, into the promised land. Far away from here, in a better place, Together we will be, in the nights embrace. In the nights embrace, I will hold your hand, We will walk away, into the promised land. Far away from here, in a better place, Together we will be, in the nights embrace. In the nights embrace, I will hold your hand, We will walk away, into the promised land. Far away from here, in a better place, Together we will be, in the nights embrace.

Verse 1: If you dare to follow me, I’ll show you things you won’t believe Full of wonder you will find, the secrets that the city hides In the alleys, in the streets, the clues are running ‘round your feet. But when you look through the veil, you will find a long, black tale Chorus: Call me what you want, I go by many names but The Master of Mischief I will remain The ruler of the world, is me and no-one else I’m the Master of Mischief and you’re under my spell Verse 2: Once this city was full of life, now there’s only death to find Everyone I’ve lead astray, now there’s no more time to pray From the shadows, from the dark, something evil will embark Feel my breath, hear the screams, It will haunt you in your dreams Chorus: Call me what you want, I go by many names but The Master of Mischief I will remain The ruler of the world, is me and no-one else I’m the Master of Mischief and you’re under my spell

erse 1: Take my hand and walk with me Open your eyes to see These wicked ways of wonder Will set you free Feel the pleasure you receive And give it all to me Your wicked soul of wonder Is all I need Chorus: In the night when the dead Moon is rising This life will be your sacrifice Verse 2: See the blood upon your hands Through my evil ways Hand in hand we’ll go to make them pay Now your soul belongs to me Together we will stand You will be in my servance Till the end Chorus: In the night when the dead moon is rising This life will be your sacrifice Bridge: Lay before my feet I will plant my seed Together we will lead Chorus: In the night when the dead moon is rising This life will be your sacrifice This life will be your sacrifice This life will be your sacrifice

They're looking hungry and searching for prey They're getting closer and crawling my way Trapped in a corner, I can’t get break free There’s no way out, now they’re coming for me I can’t get away from the rat king boogie I’m gonna do the dance of the rat king boogie There’s no fight to win in the rat king boogie I gotta do the dance of the rat king boogie Spread as a wheel, tails dancing like snakes Master of mischief, makes my body shake A predator, out here searching for blood If I don’t run, I will die in the mud I can’t get away from the rat king boogie I’m gonna do the dance of the rat king boogie There’s no fight to win in the rat king boogie I gotta do the dance of the rat king boogie

The time is gone where everything was alright I won’t forget looking into your eyes I look back on the best days of our lives Back when the city was mine Throughtout the days, I fall apart I bear the memories inside my heart I close my eyes and I see your smile Reliving once you were mine Even though the time flies by I hear the wind, howling your name in the sky Even though my heart’s aflame Through the pain I will always know your name

Verse 1: You will never see me You will never hear me Crawling from the action Crawling away from you – from you Chorus: I tried to be brave, I tried to stay But now I’m running away from you I cannot fight, I cannot hide I’m running away from you Verse 2: Once I had it all Now I have nothing You took it all from me Now I’m crawling away from you – from you Chorus: I tried to be brave, I tried to stay But now I’m running away from you I cannot fight, I cannot hide I’m running away from you Verse 3 Now I might be leaving But this isn’t over Someday I’ll be returning I’m coming back for you –for you Chorus: I tried to be brave, I tried to stay But now I’m running away from you I cannot fight, I cannot hide I’m running away from you I tried to be brave, I tried to stay But now I’m running away from you I cannot fight, I cannot hide I’m running away from you

He’s living in the fast lane, trying to get out of there Drowning his sorrows, with another beer He's going faster, pedal to the metal, gotta get away While he’s driving, through the window he’s shouting, as he is going insane All I loved is now gone, you took it all from me But mark my words it won’t be long, I’ll get revenge one day I’ll go to hell if that’s what it takes, to make the devil pay Loaded up on anger, reaching overdrive It doesn’t even matter, if he’s dead or alive He’s going faster, pedal through the metal, gotta stay awake While he’s driving, through the window he’s shouting, the same thing over again All I loved is now gone, you took it all from me But mark my words it won’t be long, I’ll get revenge one day I’ll go to hell if that’s what it takes, to make the devil pay All I loved is now gone, you took it all from me But mark my words it won’t be long, I’ll get revenge one day I’ll go to hell if that’s what it takes, to make the devil pay

It’s late at night, only one thing to do Dead Man’s Ruin is where I’m headed to The club is open, I got nothing to lose Aiming to win, I’m only waiting for you A tap on my shoulder, I turn around He’s standing there and says “I’m here to take you underground If you wanna stay, you have to do as I say See if you can beat me, at a little game” The stakes are high, but the flames are going higher Satan’s up for a game of blackjack He’s coming for me in the fire pit I’m doubling down and it’s all or nothing Cause if I lose, he’s gonna take my soul My dealer is the devil, tonight he's ringing hells bells The deck is cold and I’m not doing well The beast is running hot, I’m under his spell I’m drinking up before I’m going to hell The stakes are high, but the flames are going higher Satan’s up for a game of Blackjack He’s coming for me in the fire pit I’m doubling down and it’s all or nothing Cause if I lose, he’s gonna take my soul Satan’s up for a game of Blackjack He’s coming for me in the fire pit I’m doubling down and it’s all or nothing Cause if I lose, he’s gonna take my soul
