Insects Rule
Insects' Ascendance: A Tale of Overthrown Love and Creeping Power
Lyrics
Once knew a woman, she was skin and bones
Describes a woman who was extremely thin.
Invited all the insects to come into her home
The woman allowed insects into her home.
She trained them so well
She trained the insects to perform tasks, such as answering her phone.
They could answer her phone
Highlights the unusual abilities of the trained insects.
The day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown
The woman's downfall and defeat by an unknown force.
Her husband returned home from voyages at sea
Her husband returns home to a shocking discovery.
To find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping tea
The woman is dead, and a spider is present, creating a surreal scene.
He drew his knife and swore
The husband reacts with anger, drawing his knife.
He would have the spider's eyes
He vows to take revenge on the spider.
An army of red ants nearly took him by surprise
An unexpected obstacle arises in the form of red ants.
The sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked in
The couple is found dead, attracting the attention of curious neighbors.
Outside the dogs were mesmerized
Dogs outside are captivated by an unusual humming sound.
By the humming from within
The humming intensifies, creating intrigue and fear.
News spread throughout the town of the insects' arrival
News spreads about the insects' arrival, causing concern in the town.
People gathered in the church to pray to God
People gather in the church to seek solace and pray.
And quote from the Bible
Reference to the community turning to religious texts for guidance.
Men came with gasoline and torches abright
Men attempt to eradicate the insects using fire.
A billion flies covered the skies til it was dark as night
A massive swarm of flies darkens the sky.
The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees
The suffering and cries of the affected are drowned out by the buzzing.
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
The insects now dominate, and submission is advised.
And the town crier said:
The town crier warns the God-fearing people of impending danger.
You God-fearing people had better beware
Advises the community to prepare and abandon their idols.
Gather up your idols and begin to prepare
Announces the arrival of locusts, symbolizing a destructive force.
The time has come, the locusts have taken the air
The bugs are indifferent to negotiations, indicating their dominance.
Negotiations are in effect the bugs don't even care
Suggests that negotiations are underway, but the bugs are unresponsive.
