Into the swamp

Where I still-perch

I am winged grace

Fly so close to god

My beak a spear

Eyes like lanterns

Heeding the call

Of the great hermit

Dragged through the water

Impaled upon me

Cresting the river

I am Anhinga

So great my wingspan

So great my talons

I am Anhinga

I am Anhinga

Into the swamp

Where I still-perch

I am winged grace

Fly so close to god

My beak a spear

Eyes like lanterns

Heeding the call

Of the great hermit

So when sundown comes (fly)

I'll be poised to kill (fly)

I'm the sentinel of swamps (fly)

Legendary bird (fly)

There's a light

Found in flight

Rending night

Divine shine

There's a light

Found in flight

Rending night

Divine shine

Into the swamp

Where I still-perch

I am winged grace

Fly so close to god

My beak a spear

Eyes like lanterns

Heeding the call

Of the great hermit
