Original song and music video by Gary Crockett about the Australian Saltwater Crocodiles. Incredible photography with kind permission of David White from Solar Whisper Daintree and Crocodile tours.
00:00In the top half of Australia, where the sun is burning bright, from the ocean to the rivers and the creeks at night, there's a beast that lies in waitin' in the billabong so deep, an eighteen foot leviathan in the land and in the sea.
00:30From floodplains to the coastline, you gotta watch your step, in the shadows of the evening, it's a sight you won't forget. A ripple on the water, a silent lethal glide, the saltwater crocodile moves with ancient pride.
00:53He's the king of the floodplains, ruler of the tide, in the rivers and the creeks where danger lies to hide.
01:04With the death roll that'll take you, spinnin' through the night. The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight.
01:14In the inland and the oceans, where the muddy waters churn, you might find a monster waitin' at every twist and turn.
01:28Their eyes above the surface, scanin' left and right. The dark nights of the waters, ready for a fight.
01:37The old folks tell the stories, of the ones who slipped away, of the silent deadly hunters, who never let their prey.
01:48You can't hear them in the sea. You can't hear them in the distance, a splash against the shore. And if you get too close, you won't see them anymore.
01:58He's the king of the floodplains, ruler of the tide, in the rivers and the creeks where danger lies to hide.
02:10With the death roll that'll take you, spinnin' through the night. The saltwater crocodile, keep him in your sight.
02:28He's the king of the floodplains, ruler of the tide, in the rivers and the creeks where danger lies to hide.
02:38With the death roll that'll take you, spinnin' through the night. The saltwater crocodile, keep him in your sight.
