With gnawing sharp teeth
And wicked hairless tail
You creep through the city
In the dark sewers of night

You are a coward
Daylight hurts your eyes
You scurry in darkness
Under disguise

Beneath a cloak
Of self-righteousness
You lie to yourself
That its God's work that you do

What a blind rat you are
Your rodent footprints
Leave a trail that comes
Directly from hell

So don't stand on a pedestal
And expect others to call you a hero
You are nothing but a varmint
An evil cursed thing

Your hate is a plague, growing in dark places
A lethal vexation upon your own nation
Good people will not stand-by
Letting your evil disease spread

For humanity will track you down
By your putrid foul smell
Wherever you hide
Just remember your days are numbered
We are on your scent
And there are more ways than one
To kill a rat

Spoken like an Eagle ... with a delightful overtone from a songbird

I raise my fist with you
