Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dear colony, I am going and do not follow me I left no pheromones, I'm on a mission of my own Where I'm going is alone, give the queen my regards What I seen last week was so harsh it left my heart permanently scarred During 0:07 hours, joined up operation termite mound I was left there bound, there was no food or larvae around Our battalion searched the whole grounds I was sent there with our liberators and corporals For some detainees [?] some classification of some other insects Unknown if they detеst, we made arrests That samе night the platoon had to find rest So we slept inside of abandoned trapdoor spider nest The very next morning who came in swarming was some trap-jaws trying to fight our sect The combat resulted in a few more deaths But we sung our mantra: We are ants, we are ants And the plants we must protect [Verse 2] During the daylight we gorged on millions of parasites Cutting pieces, so many bodies of mosquito's larvae We are the original army of the safari We eat fly maggots, bedbug eggs, cockroach eggs You should watch them, they crack like tacos on a tray Our strong mandibles can crack bones and tear through flesh of insects And shoot through tissue of any animal We're the smallest, but the strongest of the botanical We are ants, we are ants Stare at the word 'giants' and you will see our name During our march, we carry rocks, we carry leaves, we carry grains Our body is armor, in our sector we forge nectar We would give our lives to protect our base Even if bears want our honey [?] we'll spray formic acid in your face And it's not difficult when we get to the edge of a lake We connect at the head, we connect at the legs The others climb on top of us They connect at the head, they connect at the legs Over and over, connect at the head, connect at the legs Patches of ants, going over the waves Now I'm at the end of my days, so I'm writing this page As my heart beats slower, and the time comes nearer I'm also telling my story, to a ladybug and a caterpillar The ant slowly turned towards the caterpillar, then started to cry Then said, "Though I had many blessings, only one I was denied" The caterpillar aks, "What was that old ant?" The ant said, "Before I die, I wanted to stay eye to eye And talk to a butterfly"
