torchbearer - dead children black rats lyrics

my journey had been long, i had not seen my hometown for weeks.
my spirits were hign for the prosperity i acquired,
when i walked in between houses and streets.
the morning was still, and yet but begun,
and the silence but pleasant and beautiful.
a strange smell lay light on a soft breeze…
as i came closer to my house it grew strong.
i knew not why, at that point, but something made me freeze and shiver cold…

curiosity of a strange kind made me stare in through a window.
i knew the house i stared into belonged to a family of many.
well. that’s what is used to do.
imagine my horror when i saw that pale face!
with eyes still open, piercing at me through the dark.
right then i knew who awaited me.
death had come to gratulate my return.

as if a ghost to -ssist my horror, a door creaked and slowly opened wide.
i screamed, and my scream scared me further,
for it echoed uncanny between the housewalls.
as the fool i was, i fled in through another neighbouring door.

the smell was awful as i paced through the chambers,
and that was when i fell over something.
it was a little boy and his sister, still embraced in death.
lying there on the floor i knew i would not rise
when the rats ran across the floor against me…
all i saw – dead children, black rats…
