Totentanz's song had no lyrics, but the rats understood it nonetheless. "You own this land," it said. "You deserve to feast."
Rulings
Only creatures you control when Gnawing Crescendo resolves will get +2/+0. However, if a nontoken creature enters the battlefield after Gnawing Crescendo resolves and then dies while under your control later that turn, you'll create a Rat token.
