+If Under fell, if Over leaped,
+If life was death, if death life reaped,
+Something rises from the gloom
+To make the Underland a tomb.
+Hear it scratching down below,
+Rat of long forgotten snow,
+Evil cloaked in coat of white,
+Will the warrior drain your light?
+What will turn the warrior weak?
+What do burning Gnawers seek?
+Just a barely speaking pup
+Who holds the land of Under up.
+Die the baby die his heart,
+Die his most essential part.
+Die the peace that rules the hour.
+Gnawers have their key to power. 
+Warmblood now a bloodborne death
+Will rob your body of its breath,
+Mark your skin, and seal your fate.
+The Underland becomes a plate.
+Turn and turn and turn again.
+You see the what but not the when.
+Remedy and wrong entwine,
+And so they form a single vine.
+Bring the warrior from above
+If yet his heart is swayed by love.
+Bring the princess or despair,
+No crawlers care without her there.
+Turn and turn and turn again.
+You see the what but not the when.
+Remedy and wrong entwine,
+And so they form a single vine.
+Those whose blood runs red and hot
+Must join to seek the healing spot.
+In the cradle find the cure
+For that which makes the blood impure.
+Turn and turn and turn again.
+You see the what but not the when.
+Remedy and wrong entwine,
+And so they form a single vine.
+Gnawer, human, set aside
+The hatreds that reside inside.
+If the flames of war are fanned,
+All warmbloods lose the Underland.
+Turn and turn and turn again.
+You see the what but not the when.
+Remedy and wrong entwine,
+And so they form a single vine.
+Beware, Underlanders, time hangs by a thread.
+The hunters are hunted, white water runs red.
+The gnawers will strike to extinguish the rest.
+The hope of the hopeless resides in a quest.
+An Overland warrior, a son of the sun,
+May bring us back light, he may bring us back none.
+But gather your neighbors and follow his call
+Or rats will most surely devour us all.
+Two over, two under, of royal descent,
+Two flyers, two crawlers, two spinners assent.
+One gnawer beside and one lost up ahead.
+And eight will be left when we count up the dead.
+The last who will die must decide where he stands.
+The fate of the eight is contained in his hands.
+So bid him take care, bid him look where he leaps,
+As life may be death and death life again reaps.
+On soft feet, by none detected,
+Dealing death, by most rejected,
+Killed by claw, since resurrected,
+Marked by X, two lines connected.
+Finally, they intersected,
+Two lines met, one unexpected.
+Dancing in the firelight,
+See the queen that conquers night.
+Gold flows from her, hot and bright.
+Father, mother, sister, brother,
+Off they go. I do not know
+If we will see another.
+Catch the nibblers in a trap.
+Watch the nibblers spin and snap.
+Quiet while they take a nap.
+Father, mother, sister, brother,
+Off they go. I do not know
+If we will see another.
+Now the guests are at our door
+Greet them as we have before.
+Some will slice and some will pour.
+Father, mother, sister, brother,
+Off they go. I do not know
+If we will see another.
+The war has been declared,
+Your ally been ensnared.
+It is now or it is never.
+Break the code or die forever.
+Time is running out
+Running out
+Running out.
+To the warrior give my blade.
+By his hand your fate is made.
+But do not forget the ticking
+Or the clicking, clicking, clicking.
+While a rat's tongue may be flicking,
+With its feet it does the tricking.
+For the paw and not the jaw
+Makes the Code of Claw.
+Time is standing still
+Standing still
+Standing still.
+Since the princess is the key
+To unlock the treachery,
+She cannot avoid the matching
+Or the scratching, scratching, scratching.
+When a secret plot is hatching,
+In the naming is the catching.
+What she saw, it is the flaw
+Of the Code of Claw.
+Time is turning back
+Turning back
+Turning back.
+When the monster's blood is spilled,
+When the warrior has been killed,
+You must not ignore the rapping,
+Or the tapping, tapping, tapping.
+If the gnawers find you napping,
+You will rot while they are mapping
+Out the law of those who gnaw
+In the Code of Claw.
