They say my family home is cursed By dark and ancient rituals By blasphemous acts of murder and flight They say the curse itself has died My wife and son have both passed away And I've grown old and decadent What better place to while my days With my friend Norrys by my side But the poorly-named cat hears the rats in the walls As downward and downward they skitter and crawl And the ravenous hunger that once kept them fed Truly can never be quite abated I met Norrys back in the war And he sold me my ancestral home And told me of the ancient terror A plague of craven vermin De La Poer had kept them fed In dark places, forbidden things But when he died, supply was cut short And out to feed they came swarming But the poorly-named cat hears the rats in the walls As downward and downward they skitter and crawl And the ravenous hunger that once kept them fed Truly can never be quite abated Why shouldn't rats eat a De La Poer As a De La Poer eats forbidden things The war ate my boy - Damn them all And the Yanks ate Carfax with flames and burned grandsire Delapore And the secret, no no! I tell you I was not The demon swineherd in the twilight grotto 'Twas not Edward Norry's fat face on that flabby, funguous thing who says I'm a de la poer 'Tis voodoo! I tell you! That spotted snake curse you Thorton! I'll teach you to faint at what family do S'bloat thou stinkard I'll learn ye to gust Wouldst thou swilke minke ways Magna mater! Magna mater, atys Ungl, ungl, ryle ke ke ke Or so they say is what I said When they found me aft' hours passed by With my cat still chasing the rats A half-chewed Norrys by my side But my doctors can't hear the rats in the walls As downward and downard the skitter and crawl And the ravenous hunger that once kept them fed Truly has never been quite abated But the poorly-named cat hears the rats in the walls As downward and downward they skitter and crawl And the ravenous hunger that once kept them fed Truly can never be quite abated
