Ballad of the 12345s

(2021)

Verse 1:
Gather now my people as I spin a woeful yarn
Of the gruesomest, fiercest creatures that ever touched the stars.
I’ve sailed across the galaxy, seen everything alive,
But I’ve never seen anything quite as strange as the 12345s.

Chorus 1:
Captain Myscalabie was I,
I sailed the finest ship there ever was across the midnight sky.
And all aboard were brave and true as we sailed the waters blue
In the great wide sea above the sky.

Verse 2:
We set off from the homeworld, left everything we knew.
To defend our people’s honor and avenge that fated crew.
A peaceful ship of diplomats was docked when they arrived,
But then they were all murdered by the 12345s.

Chorus 1

Verse 3:
Their ships were in the distance. The armadas had arrived
To see who’d be the victor or who’d be left alive.
We fought beside the others and made our people proud
But we took an impact to the hull and our battleship went down.

Chorus 2:
Captain Myscalabie was I,
I sailed the finest ship there ever was across the midnight sky.
And all aboard were brave and true as we split up in the blue
In the great wide sea above the sky.

Verse 4:
5 is for their fingers that take all that they can,
4 is for their legs and arms on which they shoot and stand,
3 their crimson vessels and 2 their piercing eyes,
1 is for their wicked hearts that let my people die.

Chorus 1
