Fight 5 — Jaws Over Stripes

Lyrics

[Barker - Verse 1]
The giant-killer's back again — the cat that dropped the king,
took the jungle, took the ambush, made the whole arena sing.
But the lizard isn't grass and isn't mountain, isn't prey;
the lizard is the water, and the water's where you pay.

[Sisu - Refrain]
jaws over stripes…
the trees run out at the riverbank…

[Barker - Verse 2]
In the green the tiger had him, all that muscle, all that art —
but you drag the cat to water and you take the cat apart.
Twice on the wetland the jaws came down and the wildcard's run was through;
the trees were always going to end. The river always knew.

[Barker + Sisu - Chorus]
Jaws over stripes! The Cinderella's done —
two-to-one at the waterline where the ancient one has won.
You can topple the mountain, you can dazzle and amaze,
but the river doesn't care for tricks — the river ends your days.

[Outro - Barker]
The crocodile to the Final. The wildcard bows out a legend.
