You Dirty Rat

You dirty rat

Slick in black

Smile so thin

Knife in back

You shook my hand

Spoke so sweet

Hid your trap  

Beneath your feet

You borrowed trust

You sold the gold

Left the fire

Kept the cold

You danced through lies

You praised my name

Then lit the fuse

Then fled the flame

You dirty rat

The moonlight knows

How poison blooms  

Where friendship grows

The walls have ears

The dark keeps score

Every bolt  

On every door

For fate walks slow

But never late

It learns your face

It knows your gate

And when the mask  

Falls flat like dust

You'll meet the weight  

Of broken trust

You dirty rat

Run if you must

But every trail  

Returns to dust
