Tooth and Claw

(Verse 1) Underneath the mangrove shadows, I start my day With the weight of a heavy heart that won't fade away Lost a piece of my soul, the price I had to pay When the river took my child, in the cruelest way (Chorus) I'm gonna hunt down every scale and every eye Underneath this burning sun and stormy sky Gonna drain every swamp, every creek gone dry 'Til I've chased the last shadow, and heard the last cry (Verse 2) Every ripple in the water, every rustle in the reeds Holds the echo of a scream, and a heart that bleeds Got my vengeance packed in sorrow, it’s all I’ll ever need To scour these murky waters, where the demons feed (Bridge) They say nature’s just cruel, indifferent and blind But I see malice in those eyes, trailing behind No rest for my spirit, no peace to find Until every tooth and claw is out of places to hide (Chorus) I'm gonna hunt down every scale and every eye Underneath this burning sun and stormy sky Gonna drain every swamp, every creek gone dry 'Til I've chased the last shadow, and heard the last cry (Outro) When the last crocodile's gone, will I then see your face? In the calm of the water, in this haunted place Maybe then I’ll find quiet, maybe then I'll embrace The memories, not the nightmares, in my endless chase
