[Intro:atmospheric pads,earie soundscapes] [ 1st verse: low growl vocals] There's an old, ragged cabin the town folk have forsaken, it's in the middle of the gator beds deep inside the basin. the way the legend goes, if you find yourself to close, you end up in the cast iron pot, of a hungry cannibal Cajun... [instrumentals] [2nd verse gravely vocal] The locals all will tell you don't trespass in his swamp, if his traps don't get you. you'll get bogged down in the marsh. When he comes to get you, there's nothing you can do, he slices, cuts and chops you up and puts you in his Gumbo Rue...[small pause] [Hook french accent] "Du bon manger!!!" [Chorus gritty vocals] You don't wanna go where the sheriff won't go, deep inside this swamp, its a bad choice your makin and it won't end like you want. The rush of fear is what you're chasing but you're risking your life cause human meat is the only thing he's crave'n "he's the cannibal of the Atchafalaya basin....." [instrumentals] [bridge]] (gritty vocals) only one man has ever went into the swamp and made it back to tell the tail, he said that Cajun wasn't like no normal man, more like a beast straight out of hell. He had to be at least 7 foot, and his eyes were bloodshot red the only reason that monster didn't ever notice him was because he was focused on his friend, the fear had that man so petrified he couldn't move even if he wanted to, all he could do is watch as his friend was chopped up and put in a pot, that you use when your making stew.... [final verse tempo change] when the sheriff at the time went into the swamp, to try to find the friend, the people of the town all gathered around and watched as he went in, but the second he decided to go into that swamp was the beginning of his end, because that sheriff was never seen again.... [instrumentals] [outro] people from all around come to the basin to try to prove that the story isn't true, you might see when they go in, but you'll never hear or see them again... but when the wind blows, you'll smell that Cajuns Gumbo Rue ... [ French accent] "C'est un régal" [ending Chorus] you don't want to go where the sheriff won't go, deep inside his swamp, it's a bad choice that your Makin, it won't end like you want. it was the rush of fear you were chase'n, but you'll be giving your life because human meat is what he will be tasting, "he's the cannibal of the Atchafalaya basin...... [closing instrumentals]
