Nothing But Crickets

Darkness blots out the sun

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run

A roaring torrent of oily fiends

Through the city streets careens

Crickets! That's what they are

Crickets! As far as the eye can see:

They're hopping and chirping and breeding and

Feasting on the flesh of you and

I will not survive!

This onslaught of evil embodied:

This insect eruption, this cricket corruption

All mankind will die! (all mankind will die)

Nothing but crickets remain

Foolish and proud, we thought them mundane

Until one fateful night, everything changed

Out with a chirp, not with a bang!

Chirp chirp chirp blehh

This vulgar contagion of cricketine rot

Spreads through the land with a chirp and a hop

As we swarm to the left, we shall swarm to the right

Battalions of crickets all swarming tonight

We are crickets together; crickets who sin

Husk on the outside, crickets within!

Hopping together, we're hopping all night

Hopping for victory, hopping with might!

Bounding over the hills

They won't stop till they get their fill!

Squirming river of terrible bugs

Catastrophic hopping flood!

Crickets! Rain from the sky!

Crickets! They're coming for you and me

Leaping and creeping and crawling and

Gouging out your

I will not survive!

Ignoring our sobs and ignoring our begs

As they kick off our faces with muscular legs

All mankind will die! (all mankind will die)

You are a cricket and I am one too

We're all just crickets who are coming for you

An eye for a feeler, or an arm for a wing

It's time for our revenge on all human fiends
