Songtext

I am the alligator king
I am the lord of the swamps
I'm down with the heat
I'm one with the sun

I was raised next to the place
where I once buried my mom
I'm down with the rain
I dance with the storms

When Louisianna skies prepare for darkness
and the beauty of the wild makes room for primal fear

I am hoping and i'm wishing
that there is something more to come
i cross my fingers, I knock on wood
one day I'll leave for something good
but with the morning comes another day in the swamps

In a cajun shack
two feet above the mud
she said „I see the swamp's
your future, you present and past.“

I was staring at the chicken heads
and scared by the blood
that night i took a crown
for that i never asked

When Louisianna skies prepare for darkness
and the beauty of the wild makes room for primal fear

I am hoping and I'm wishing
that there is something more to come
I cross my fingers, I knock on wood
one day I'll leave for something good
but then the morning comes, another day out in the swamps
