'With The Rats And Snakes’ - the title track from upcoming EP, out August 12. Pre-order/save here: primitiveaus.lnk.to/wtras

lyrics

They came in droves
Scattered from the earth and stone
Each passing wave they overthrow

Rushed from their holes
Crawling through the cracks in thrall
A fever dream or so it seems

Snakes singing, no sins atoned
Rats gnashing our broken bones

Relentless desecration
All life cleaved from creation
The wretched bear the broken crown

Awake to chains that are bound to their throne
Praise the shrine built of old ghosts and bones
Through the cracks, within the waste, from the holes
With the rats and snakes we roam

Send them away
Alight the fields and turn their graves
Of only ashes will remain

Recite the holy scriptures once foretold
New rite of passage takes ahold

Snakes singing, no sins atoned
Rats gnashing our broken bones

Relentless desecration
All life cleaved from creation
The wretched bear the broken crown

Awake to chains that are bound to their throne
Praise the shrine built of old ghosts and bones
Through the cracks, within the waste, from the holes
With the rats and snakes we roam

Bound to their throne
Built of old ghosts and bones
The snakes will rise
As the the rats will roam

Rise rise
Rise rise
Rise rise
Rise rise
