Fight 7 — Thirty-Seven Hundred (FINAL)

Lyrics

[Barker - Intro]
Two ambushes. Two patiences. Two ancient things that wait. Only one of them bites.

[Barker - Verse 1]
The snake and the lizard, the two who never chase —
both of them masters of the wetland, both at home in the same dark place.
The serpent squeezed a mountain, the serpent dropped the heart,
but the river has a colder king, and the king does not depart.

[Sisu - Refrain]
thirty-seven hundred…
the hardest the world has weighed…

[Barker - Verse 2]
She held him like she held them all, the slow and certain crush —
but you cannot squeeze the stillness out of two hundred million years of hush.
On her own home water, three times, the jaws came down like fate;
the squeeze met the bite, and the bite did not negotiate.

[Barker + Sisu - Chorus]
Thirty-seven hundred — the strongest close on Earth!
Champion of the wetland, of the wait, of the worth —
the snake holds you slowly, but the lizard ends it now;
the oldest patience won the crown, and it never broke a sweat to show you how.

[Bridge - Sisu]
(soaring) to wait is to be ancient… to close is to be sure…
the river kept its oldest king, and the king endures…

[Outro - Barker]
(low) One close. One roll. One ending.
Strength Kings — Champion: the Saltwater Crocodile. Thirty-seven hundred. Court adjourned.
