[Verse 1]

Ravenous waves attack, drawn by the scent of life

Fever for our blood

Instinct rules this mass, ruthless living sea

Devouring


[Pre-Chorus]

Countless vermin gnashing at my face, tear meat from my skull

Swarming, rabid, features are erased, unrecognizable

Body covered, rat filled innards, shred internal organs

Heart and lungs consumed from inside but my pain doesn't end

I have not died


[Chorus]

Devour, cesspool of vermin

Devour, bloodthirsty rabid

Devoured by vermin


[Verse 2]

Resistance now gives way, the rodents freely feed

Tearing at my skin

Muscles are exposed, shining red with blood

Meat that they seek


[Pre-Chorus]

Crawling rodents gorging on me, repulsive starving droves

Shredding, stripping, consuming all I was, tissue pulled from bones

Dying slowly, feeling every fang, shock has yet to come

Scavengers tear out my eyes, my pain won't end

I have not died


[Chorus]

Devour, cesspool of vermin

Devour, bloodthirsty rabid

Devoured by vermin


[Bridge]

Ruthless gnawing vermin feed

Cleaning off my bones while I breathe

Stenching greasy rodents swarm

My body is losing its form


[Chorus]

Devour, cesspool of vermin

Devour, bloodthirsty rabid

Devoured by vermin
