lyrics

Behold The Tardigrade

Behold!

Behold! The ancient life form in the vacuum of space!
Behold! The future master... of the human race!

This is the song of the mighty water bear!
From the distant deeps unto the skies!

Where have you been mighty little tardigrade?
Will you conquer this whole galaxy?

Behold!

Behold! The ancient life form... in volcano-flame
Behold! The awesome power... of the tardigrade!

This is the song of the mighty water bear!
From the distant deeps unto the skies!

Where have you been ugly little tardigrade?
Will you conquer this whole galaxy?

Behold!

Behold the slaving bipede... in the fields of moss!
Behold this future vision... of the future boss!

This is the song of the mighty water bear!
From the distant deeps unto the skies!

Where have you been ugly little tardigrade?
Will you conquer this whole galaxy?

Behold!

Don't let the size of the Madoqua fool you. There's nothing subtle about this Dik Dik ... more
