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 18-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 likes to hide. With a death roll that'll take you, spinnin' through the night.
01:09The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight.
01:18In the inland and the oceans, where the muddy waters churn, you might find a monster waitin' at every twist and turn.
01:27Their eyes above the surface, scanin' left and right. The dark nights of the waters, ready for a fight.
01:36The old folks tell the stories of the ones who slipped away. Of the silent, deadly hunters who never let their prey.
01:43Of the silent, deadly hunters who never let their prey. You can hear them in the distance, a splash against the shore.
01:53And if you get too close, you won't see them anymore.
02:00He's the king of the floodplains, ruler of the tide. In the rivers and the creeks where danger likes to hide.
02:09With a death roll that'll take you, spinnin' through the night.
02:14The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight.
02:15The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight.
02:17He's the king of the floodplains, ruler of the tide. In the rivers and the creeks where danger likes to hide.
02:21He's the king of the floodplains, ruler of the tide. In the rivers and the creeks where danger likes to hide.
02:37With a death roll that'll take you, spinnin' through the night.
02:42The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight.
02:45The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight.
02:49Or vice goes lucky, man mountainaway, warn
03:02And death roll that night, you must be late for a word.
03:05The saltwater crocodile, keepin' in your sight and breath.
03:08Down in the suites, build a bomb, the silence of the deep
03:14Seventeen feet of legend, no one dared to sleep
03:20Attacked around twenty boats, made the watershade
03:26Sweetheart's kingdom, a danger not to fate
03:32They set traps for the beast, the sweetheart was sly
03:36Caught that croc in irons, but the tears did cry
03:42Drown in shallow waters, stories bitter end
03:48Silent sorrow, bullet found, the spine could not bend
03:53Sweetheart of the lurking, ruler of the stream
03:58The beast misunderstood, or so it would seem
04:04The tales of a titan, in the philip-on-dee
04:09Memories linger, where the waters do see
04:15Oaks on the river, fear in the air
04:20Sweetheart's swam below, with a mighty flare
04:26Scales like armor, eyes like emerald fire
04:32Nature's grand soldier, fueling human dire
04:37Tragedy, a sweetheart, mystery unfolds
04:43Haunted by man, untamed and bold
04:48A clash of two worlds, left in disarray
04:55Billabong whispers, where the giant lays
04:59Sweetheart of the lurking, ruler of the stream
05:05A beast misunderstood, or so it would seem
05:10Tales of a titan, in the philip-on-dee
05:17Memories linger, where the waters do see
05:21Sweetheart of the lurking, ruler of the stream
05:35Sweetheart of the lurking, ruler of the stream
05:49A beast misunderstood, or so it would seem
05:54Tales of a titan, in the philip-on-dee
05:59Memories linger, where the waters do see
06:05Memories linger, where the waters do see
06:11Memories linger, where the waters do see
06:25Memories linger, where the ocean Gyno
06:27Blame, gimbal of the stream
06:29Best of thebecue
06:30Memories linger, where the waters do see
06:31bitsiliar, while the waters do see
06:32Lesko, speed and laude
