Gruff Rhys
Kingcrawler
[Refrain]
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye

[Verse 1]
The kingcrawler of mercy
Will sit you in his perch
Death lurks 'round the corner
Where the clowns begin to smirk

[Refrain]
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye

[Verse 2]
Glued to the blood are the stains
The scars that trickle your pretty face
Rescue the hands that fiddle the bet
And roll the dice to forget

[Refrain]
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
[Chorus]
The kingcrawler
He'll take you down, down, down
The kingcrawler
He'll take you down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

[Verse 3]
Gazing at the stars that light up the sky
When he sees the fear in your eyes
Give up the escape route, you're here to stay
Bow down on your shaking knees and you'll go

[Refrain]
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye-aye
Aye-aye-aye-aye, aye-aye-aye

[Chorus]
The kingcrawler
He'll take you down, down, down
The kingcrawler
He's the kingcrawler
He'll take you down, down, down, down
