Once Upon A Time
02:23

|

Somewhere in space
A story takes place
About a cursed race
Who had to face
They had to face their destiny
And fulfill the prophecy
A cheesy space adventure now awaits you
Who knows perhaps it’s true?

Cheesy Curse
02:03
|
|
||
Let’s pray for food!
Let’s eat our prey!
Long, long ago the mantis were a brutal kind
Then they were punished, now they’re hungry but they’re kind
Cursed mantis - now they can only eat cheese
Cheese, cheese, more cheese
Mantis in space is a cursed race
They are not welcome any place
Their stomachs are never filled
Their hunger is never stilled
Long, long ago the mantis were a brutal kind
Now all they eat is ...
Cheese

Monday Morning

After this fateful day
Nothing would ever be the same way
On his way to buy some breakfast
The weather was hot
But he was cool cause
He was a mantis man who used his wings as a fan
Claws held in prayer
But sharp as a slayer
An expert at cutting cheese
He'd mastered the perfect slice
This day would be the turning point
Little did he know that from now on
His life would change forever
He had heard the prophecy
But never thought he’d live to see this day
After this fateful, fateful, fateful day
Nothing would ever be the same way

Run Out
01:30
|
|

- “I would like to buy some cheese”
- “No, we have run out of cheese”
- “How come you’ve run out of cheese??”
- “Eeemergency!”
Time’s up! Time’s up!
Gotta get going
Now that all the cheese is gone
Once again we leave our homes
We’re always on the run
We can not survive for much longer
So if we don’t want to die
We gotta search on every planet
Hurry up! Let’s fly!
Time’s up! Time’s up!
Gotta get going now that all the cheese is gone
Gotta search on every planet
Hurry up! Let’s fly!

Lost In Space

“Listen up! you can think of space
As an enormous cheese full of holes.
We’re going to use those holes to travel faster!”
Searching, looking, scanning, snooping...
Orientating without a map is not an easy thing
You could always fall into a trap or you could hurt your wing!
We’re traveling in space, a limitless, endless place
Who knows what’s gonna happen to us on our journey?!
Searching and looking and scanning and snooping
And getting hungrier every minute
Searching for, longing for, yearning for
Hoping to once again taste what they truly desire
Traveling in space a limitless place
Yellow, mellow
Who knows what will happen on our

Hallucination
01:35
|
|
||
Her white scales are spikey, antennas so long!
Yellow wings, heart-shaped face
stares at him with purple eyes
She was the most beautiful thing he had seen
A mantis so powerful and yet so lean!
As if she came right from his dream
An alien queen!
Our hero is going mad!
How long was it since he ate??
Now he has started to hallucinate
Most beautiful thing he had seen
As if she came right from his dream
He throws himself mindlessly out in space
A meteor’s coming in a rapid pace
It’s flying towards him and almost hits him in the face!
Wake up... Wake up... Wake up... Ah!

Swimsuit
01:06
|
|
||
Stupid idea! But since they were desperate,
they couldn't deny it, they had to try it!
Swimsuit – check!
Protective mask- check!
1,2,3, dive!
Mantis going marine should never have been!
Their bodies are slim and they can not swim - they sink!

Mantis Shrimps
01:34
|
|
||
At the bottom there were funny creatures
Who looked like them but different features
Colourful armors, very sharp claws
They told them that they were the mantis shrimps
They had evolved into a super species
True survivors of the sea
Any other fish would be
Envious of this supreme marine
“Long ago we were like you we sunk like steel,
dear cousins, you came in time for our meal!”

RUN
01:37
|
|

In Zolarynx mind:
Don’t ... panic ... Breathe!
How much air is left in the oxygen tank?
Feels like my mind is going blank...
We would never win a fight
Here they are superior
Frozen in fear he thought
“If I only had a gun...”
RUN!
Not watching his steps he tripped
And fell into a hole in the ground
The captain tried to catch him
But the others came from behind
Crashing into each other
Running for their lives not using their eyes
They tripped and crashed until they all fell down
They fell...
and fell...
and fell...
and fell...
and then they saw...

Galaxy Of Cheese
01:37
|
|

Finally the day has come
When we will get our sweet reward!
Our days of searching through
‘Cause all our dreams have now come true!
Come on mantis let’s rejoice,
Lets celebrate and have a feast
Eat until your stomach's full
For we have found the galaxy of cheese!
The galaxy of cheese!
Solar system main menu: Planet starters
Main course: Yummy stars with creamy fill
Moon dessert: Asteroid snacks
Feast, feast, feast, feast - The galaxy of cheese
Feast, feast, feast, feast - The galaxy of cheese
Eat, eat, eat, eat - The galaxy of cheese
Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese
Waaahh, all you can eat!
Dutch, Brie, Gouda, Camembert, Edam,
Cheddar, Swiss, Dorblu, Yaroslavl, Lambert!
Eat, eat, rinse it!
Rinse it, rinse it, wipe it clean!
Hungry mantis lived their dream
And in a slurp before you knew it
The galaxy was gone!

Under Attack
00:57
|
|
||
Ow! Ouch! Ouch!
Just as they were finishing the last bit
Zolarynx was suddenly hit
By a light purple laser beam
Coming from a little planet they hadn’t seen
Ow, ow ow!
Ow, ow, ow!
Ow, ow, ow!
Ow, ow, ow!
Captain: Who are you?
Who dares to attack us out of the blue?
Show yourself or die!

Living in outer space
Trapped in a maze
He’s undefeated, he’s got laser shooting towers!
Flying too close to stars gave him those scars
You have to beware of his mathematic powers
1 x 1 + 2 x 1 + 1 x 1
335,575 x 1
Living in outer space
Trapped in a maze
He’s undefeated, he’s got laser shooting towers!
Flying too close to stars gave him those scars
You have to beware of his mathematic powers

The Plea
01:53

It went so fast
Watching from the shadows
As they ate it piece by piece
Ruins of the world he used to know
Padow:
This planet is my home
Please leave my cheese alone!
A whole galaxy is gone!
Now go away! Begone!
One last planet!
...bzz .....xxrrgrg.....
………pzzzzt ...........
It’s a vision of blood!
Zolarynx:
We don’t wanna do this
But we’ve really got no choice
'Cause we’ve been cursed to pay for crimes
Committed by someone else long ago
But if you find a way to break the curse
We’ll go away and never return

Working under pressure works so well
'Cause he’s a calculating mastermind
How he’s building a gigantic screen
It’s Padow’s Marvelous Machine!
“X+X = XX - X = X
That explains a lot!”
Working under pressure works so well
'Cause he’s a calculating master mind
This is something no one has ever seen
It’s Padows Marvelous Machine!
It's looking very fucking cool!
Very COOL! very COOL!
Its looking VERY fucking cool!
Working under pressure works so well
'Cause he’s a calculating genious
It’s looking very cool, perhaps it works
It’s Padow’s Marvelous Machine!

Mal- function
Mal-function
Mal-function
Maaaa-a-a-al funkk...
Something smells weird
Perhaps it's broken
Finally the curse was broken
But there were some side-effects
Little did they know that from now on
Their lives would change forever
Now they no longer craved for cheese
They, once again, were preying beasts
But just as they prepared to feed
They shrunk in an enormous speed
They shrunk until they disappeared
Into the darkness, transported
Sent through time and space
At last they came to a little planet that was blue
