Nothing But Crickets

Darkness blots out the sunNowhere to hide, nowhere to runA roaring torrent of oily fiendsThrough the city streets careensCrickets! That's what they areCrickets! As far as the eye can see:They're hopping and chirping and breeding andFeasting on the flesh of you andI will not survive!This onslaught of evil embodied:This insect eruption, this cricket corruptionAll 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 BLEHHThis vulgar contagion of cricketine rotSpreads through the land with a chirp and a hopAs we swarm to the left, we shall swarm to the rightBattalions of crickets all swarming tonightWe are crickets together; crickets who sinHusk on the outside, crickets within!Hopping together, we're hopping all nightHopping 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 andGouging out your...I will not survive!Ignoring our sobs and ignoring our begsAs they kick off our faces with muscular legsAll 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 youAn eye for a feeler, or an arm for a wing,It's time for our revenge on all human fiends.
