Lyrics

[00:04.03]
[00:11.22] Plague times and wind of putrefaction
[00:16.94] Gutter belching rats by millions
[00:22.15] Brutal wave of squeaking vermin
[00:26.65] Babies devoured in their cradle
[00:32.04] Rats seemed to come all from the same place
[00:36.69] A putrid forgotten gutter's bowel
[00:42.16] And in the middle of the nest
[00:47.06] Something as a crown
[00:51.82] A crown made of rats all linked by the tail
[01:07.13]
[01:22.11] One day a stranger came with odd tongue and red eyes
[01:27.22] His little rat's eyes were shining with malicious intelligence
[01:32.34] Strangely looking
[01:33.63] Breeding distrust
[01:34.78] Covered with rats' furs
[01:37.37] Greasy whiskers like rat's tails over his buck-like yellow teeth
[01:42.33] Deeply cold and malevolent hawking the plague message
[01:47.41] Stench of death and gutter smell follow his ugly path
[01:52.59] He seemed to be the only one not affected by the rats
[01:57.62] Some said they saw him speak with rats
[02:00.01] He who came from nowhere
[02:06.68]
[02:24.00] Soon people asked for help to him
[02:28.96] Ready to give the few they had
[02:33.86] The deal was clear he would get out the rats for free
[02:38.69] The condition is that he takes one child with him
[02:44.09] But none of the yokels wanted any child to sacrifice
[02:53.70] They decided another way to break the deal and never pay
[03:04.12] "Just let him kill the rats and we won't give anyone..."
[03:13.63] They said "agreed" and gave him their word
[03:23.77] He looked at them and he promised at dawn rats would be gone...
[03:29.05] At night the villager hardly slept bitten by remorse
[03:34.50] Surrounded by the sound of his flute
[03:39.40] Monotonous and sullen...
[03:43.98] The stranger walked calmly
[03:48.80] His music following him in the night
[03:53.95] And the rats followed him near the lake
[03:56.59] Gazing at his complaint...
[03:59.29] Trustful they all understood and accepted what he silently said
[04:04.59] And the rats broke the circle directly faced
[04:14.22] The procession disappeared in the deep waters and none saw them again
[04:23.58]
[04:45.33] And the morning after when he asked for the child,
[04:55.45] None wanted to give his son
[05:00.45] Their plan was running on
[05:07.18]
[05:45.31] The rats were gone but the villagers expelled him with no child
[05:50.15] With the acid smile of betrayal on their hypocrite faces
[05:55.09] At night a feeble melody of sick complaint pierced the silence
[06:00.06] The stranger walked calmly surrounded by the sound of his flute
[06:04.77] And all the children followed him near the lake,
[06:07.75] Gazing at his eyes
[06:09.60] Trustful they all understood and accepted what he silently said
[06:14.00] And the children broke the circle to walk to the silver lake
[06:19.04] The procession disappeared in the deep waters and none saw them again
