Nile Crocodile's Song - Το Τραγούδι Του Κροκόδειλου Του Νείλου
I've been hunting
for millions of years
in these waters
Empires have fallen
but I am still standing
Philosophers went mad
kings became beggars
Palaces have been reduced
to ashes
Cities turned to dust
I'm not pretending
when I shed tears
eating human flesh
I cry for the grandeur
my teeth are grinding
Κυνηγώ
εκατομμύρια χρόνια
σ' αυτά τα νερά
Αυτοκρατορίες έπεσαν
μα εγώ ακόμα στέκω
Φιλόσοφοι τρελάθηκαν
βασιλιάδες γίνηκαν επαίτες
Παλάτια
μείναν στάχτη
Πόλεις, σκόνη
Δεν προσποιούμαι
σαν δακρύζω
τρώγοντας σάρκα ανθρωπινή
Κλαίω το μεγαλείο
που τα δόντια μου αλέθουν
illusion stands still, does not make trap for others but the other mysteriously becomes inquisitive of it!
The heartless monster of the deep, they indeed fancy flesh and seem immortal in their fetish for death, great truthful poem Kostas! !

It looks like a challenge from the evil forces, looks like a satire on the helplessness of mighty humans, they erased many good things but failed to erase the devil from the page of their lives. History is the witness, a natural calamity improved their behavior but soon they became a disciple of the devil. A true history of the humans.
