verse #1
Night falls in the village
all the lights are dimmed
people hide in their houses
no sound but the wind
chorus:
Beware of the rats
look out for the rats
beware of the rats
they’re coming for ya (4 x)
verse #2
Deep down in a cellar
behind bars two girls are locked
fear’s their only companion
one’s bleeding, both are shocked
verse #3
There’s a sound in the basement
little noise of toddling feet
rats are leaving their shelter
rats are coming for eat
verse #4
One screams, the other freezes
sound they hear takes their breath
cannot see the filthy creatures
what they hear scares them to death
verse #5
Squeaking of the beasts gets louder
sisters climb high on the bed
as the tower hits his hour
their screaming dies a sudden death
verse #6
Night falls in the village
all the lights are dimmed
people hide in their houses
