Deze songtekst is geïnspireerd door Empire of the Ants (1977), een low budget sciencefiction horrorfilm die zeker vermakelijk is voor de liefhebber. De film is (zeer losjes) gebaseerd op het gelijknamige korte verhaal van H. G. Wells.
EMPIRE OF THE ANTS
On the beach they lay
Came to have some fun
It was a terrible day
Wished they’d brought a gun
‘Cause in this jungle
Giant ants crawl
So watch your step
Don’t tumble and fall
Panic and fear
When the ants attacked
Should they flee by sea?
No, the boat got wrecked
It’s the empire of the ants
Brainwashing people
And leave them in trance
Yes, it’s the empire of the ants
They are not from Mars
They are not from Hell
They’re just radioactive
Can’t you tell?
It’s no picnic, it’s real panic
When you’re hunted by
A monstrous product
Of human fabric
Their strength as a weapon
And their body as a shield
It doesn’t really matter
How many paddles you wield
It’s the empire of the ants
Brainwashing people
And leave them in trance
Yes, it’s the empire of the ants
Soldiers and workers
They obey their queen
Will do what’s necessary
As she starts to scream
The empire of the ants
The empire of the ants
It’s the empire of the ants
Yes, it’s the empire of the ants
