lyrics

The wry smile of the crocodile / Grins treacherous, his teeth beguile / Each canine is
poised to tear / Bicuspids drenched and dripping blood / Arctic heart, a ten-click stare /
Helpless prey in sinking mud / The tears he sheds: blossoming / Consuming hearts of
Valentine red / “For I suffered out my days / To likely die alone / Just as I was born /
Tainted blood, marrow, bone” / “In the early hours of this / This sad man’s final morn'
My teeth will splay his lonely heart / Dismantle hope apart” / “I’ll be smiling down / On
every sunny, warm western town / Below, lovers’ hands are clasped / My faggot flag inflight
at half-mast / My happiness did slowly choke / Deprived of air, in this fog: his cloak
The slow drag of my virgin heart / To the river bed, where my breath departs” / “These 5
men aren't your friends / You’re sinking like stone” / I’m still breathing / Salty eyes drip
on spinning wax / So kill the lights, disconnect the phone / Heart’s still beating
Buzzer rings on mute, knocks on deaf ears fall / Shallow breathing / My spirit's shine is
dulled / My warm heart's wish fell null” / Foaming and seething / Though tear drops I
hold back / Now I'm snarling and showing teeth / Wounds are weeping / A waltz along
the path to Hell / Wailing expiration bell” / I’ll be laughing all the way to Hell / Blue & gold
/ Callous & cold / And I weep, he smiles / Pitiless crocodile / The story is old, ageless I’m
told / Crocodile
