"SONG OF THE SWAMP" lyrics

"SONG OF THE SWAMP"

There's a dark swarm growing from beyond the trees
It feeds on the spoils, killing more than it eats
There is no suffering in silence, hear the song of the swamp
It's a jaw-locked fight for your life to the top

Chomp
Chomp

Baptized in the mire of the lower lands
Set apart from the cower of the common man
Deep down in the shadows of the pale moon
There's a bellow in the evergloom

It calls me by name
It calls me by name

Eyes roll back when the teeth bite down
The beast stays fed and the weak will drown
Deeper and deeper, down to the bottom you go
Leave the bones for the bottom feeders and flesh for the crows

Hid in shadows, lurking in the dark
Scarred by jaws, refusing to be starved
When the sun sinks
And the scales begin to rise
There's a wake in the water
Behind godless eyes

Eat

Eyes roll back when the teeth bite down
The beast stays fed and the weak will drown
Deeper and deeper, down to the bottom you go
Leave the bones for the bottom feeders and flesh for the crows

Alligators, the American version of the crocodile
Lie hidden in the swamps
Fish are the basis of their diet
But they eat anything they can overpower

Overpower
Overpower
