Year Of The Rat - Tristania

Written by：Anders Høyvik Hidle/Mariangela Demurtas/Ole Vistnes

There's a way just walk the line

Keep your direction

And read the signs

Just play the game or fade away

Make your confessions and book a ride

Now that your sparkling smile is outworn

Now that your famous blue raincoat is torn

Spin me a lie and we'll slip through the haze

Just like louise we'll get lost in the shades

Change your name and change your face

For your protection and the new day

Believe in me you can be free

Escape the aggression and book that ride

Now you're a rat and you can't sleep at night

Under the spell of the following eye

This is the game there's no getting out

I've seen the end and it looks like a nine

You feel the chill that just crept down your spine

This time the last surrender

The axe won't be buried not ever not sorry

It is too late to worry

Now you're a rat and you can't sleep at night

Under the spell of the following eye

This is the game there's no getting out

I've seen the end and it looks like a nine

You feel the chill that just crept down your spine

This time the last surrender

The axe won't be buried not ever not sorry

It is too late to worry
