I saw you in the churchyard,
you watched the clouds with darkened eyes.
The Sun was like a birthmark,
It emanated ashen light.
I walked up right beside you,
I sensed the ghosts that weighed you down.
Dark magic from the bayou
Had embittered your frail design.
chorus1:
Alligator Queen and the crocodile masters
Chew on your soul and spit you out.
Alligator Queen and the crocodile masters
Infiltrate your fragile mind.
Tread softly near the bayou,
At night the drinkbeasts seek their prey.
The crayfish priests shall guide you,
For vagrant souls they ever pray.
The Swamp Dragon's harbinger
On murky waters rests her feet.
Her words will ever linger:
"The crocodiles must know defeat."
chorus2:
Alligator Queen and the crocodile masters,
Crimson eyes shine deep below.
Alligator Queen and the crocodile masters,
Rivers of darkness overflow.
Alligator Queen and the crocodile masters
Curse you 'till your soul runs dry.
Alligator Queen and the crocodile masters,
Perverse scriptures mistify.
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
