You think you're God, making everyone prey
Sanctifying malice in a martyr's name
Hiding beneath the waves
Death roll drunk on hate

Oh, how far you've sunk
Is it any wonder that your mind's gone dark?
Floods conceal with caustic tides
Baptized all your alibis

Just when you thought you could break me
I surfaced with a smile
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

Scales creep in, clandestine
The faithful doth my name revile
Still waters never speak
And never dry

Tie your hands, twist your spin
Bound, drowned, dotted line
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, ha, ha, ha

Just when you thought you could break me
I surfaced with a smile
You lay in wait, pupils dilate
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

Guilt hides in the deep
Congregation of two-faced grins
Made a mess painting a new black sheep
Virtue never learned to swim

Just when your pride turned to envy
The waters turned hostile
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

Every despot needs her tools
Every cult breeds acolytes
Every false prophet gathers fools
Even sermons serve an appetite

Lower down, closer still
Taste the waters, lose your will
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, ha, ha, ha

Just when you thought you could break me
I surfaced with a smile
All teeth exposed, pretense erodes
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

I bet you thought you could erase me
Delusion displaced the Nile
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

Just when you thought you could break me
And you bathe in denial
The ripples told, secrets you hold
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

I bet you thought you could erase me
Silence has the sharpest bite
But the river's still, you never will
Gaze upon me, Crocodile

We both know you'll never face me
You will never again
Prey upon me
