Transcript

00:00In the dark, silent shadows creep Where rivers call and forest sleep

00:17A flash of gold, a glint so stark The crocodile sees in the dark

00:26By torchlights thread a red gleam Eyes reflect a ghostly beam

00:36Like lanterns they glow Where stillness hides the beast below

00:42Behind each eye a mirror lies A tapetum lucidum nature's surprise

00:53It bounces light, both faint and fair To help one hunt with patient stare

01:04A crimson gleam in dusky time Two burning coals in night time's ground

01:17Predator's jewel, a hunter's crown Gleaming when the sun goes down

01:26So when you roam where waters lie And shimmer flickers low and slide

01:35Be crop wise, friend, and heed the sign Beware the eyes that eerily shine

01:46The king carrying his feast A feral pig meets its maker

01:53And scar-faced be the taker

01:56And scar-faced be the taker

02:00So when you roam where waters lie And shimmer flickers low and slide

02:18Be crop wise, friend, and heed the sign Where the eyes that eerily shine

02:27The king carrying his feast A feral pig meets its maker

02:35And scar-faced be the taker

02:38On the left, know what?

02:44After you have one, I'll try it

02:45And get to double go
