lirik lagu ryo okumoto - the myth of the mostrophus

part 1: the ancient history of the mostrophus & his bellows

one hundred thousand years ago, a mighty creature walked the earth
devouring every living thing he saw [everything alive]
walking and devouring all he saw and came across
crushing plants and creatures in his path [nothing can survive]

insatiably across the land, he would never stop to think
destroying what he saw, he would just stop to dig
and as his cheeks swelled and his big belly got full
never saw his giant appetite, never [takes anothеr bite]

[mostrophus] your t~~th are mighty claws
[mostrophus] your t~~th are sharpеr than a blade
[mostrophus] your bellowing is all we heard
[mostrophus] please don’t eat me now! please don’t, please don’t! please don’t eat me now!

leaving destruction in his wake and death follows him
no amount of food makes him sate [is the big hunger]
his eyes are bigger than his stomach, and his appetite is a rage
he never even stops to sleep, he won’t [he feels no fatigue]

[mostrophus] your eyes are rounder than the moon
[mostrophus] your feet are heavier than a drum
[mostrophus] your t~~th are sharper than a blade
[mostrophus] your bellowing is all we heard
[mostrophus] please don’t eat me now! please don’t, please don’t! please don’t eat me now!
until one day, there was no food left on the land
then he bellows and bellows, until he fell asleep as he starts to dig down
down into the ground, deep, deep, deep underground
and he begins to sleep, he begins to dream
while up above, the landscape changes to the world we now know starts to reappear
the world disappears, the planet’s changing gear

part 2: the awakening & the bellows

there was nothing but a new birth, the earth begins to breathe again
plants and animals began to populate the land
the big rivers and lakes started from the available water sources
building hamlets, villages and towns

in time, a market town emerges in the south~east of the island
lakes and rivers all dried up from the land’s dryness
but the town’s folk hear the echoes of the slumbering beast’s cave
and its bellowing is starting to rise…beware!
his bellowing is starting to rise…

part 3: beware, people of basingstoke… beware!

beware innocent people of basingstoke, beware, beware
beware the cracks in the pavement [beware, beware]
watch for the cracks in the pavement [beware, beware]
watch for the potholes in the road [beware, beware]
these are the signs and sounds you don’t want to hear
the signs and sounds and feelings of anger, of rage!
[mostrophus] with a mighty roar and growl, growl!
[mostrophus] he’s leaving the hungry now!
[mostrophus] he’s leaving the hungry now!
and he’s feeling hungry now!

part 4: the townsfolk will just have to just tend to scream

run away! from the mostrophus! [run, run, run]
run away! from the mostrophus, run away, run away, run away!

part 5: running from the mostrophus (disaster)

oh, he is impervious to modern weaponry
all our modern science has been used
nothing they can do, they can’t stop this creature now
but he did just get up from a very long slumber
all of the scientists and engineers
they don’t have the faintest idea, with their minds to ~n~lysing weaknesses
that they could exploit to stop him in his tracks
they just run and run and just give up now
but all is to no avail, he just rampages on
and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
[there’s no point fighting it, just give up now!]
part 6: the archaeologist and the singer (nick & ted)

professor yates, head of archaeology at st.cedd’s college, cambridge
stumbles upon some ancient writing and a very long poem, previously ignored

in deepest hampshire is a sleeping in a cave
it’s destroying primal people fighting a monstrous beast and it looks like they succeed
the singing of the people, the most melodious!
the creature is in the poem, looks distinctly familiar, could this be a mostrophus?
but scholars are divided as to how precisely
the creature was tamed in the ancient history
professor yates translates: “endless melodies
the creature hates all loud and angry noises”

[mostrophus] your bellowing is not as loud as my soul
[mostrophus] your t~~th are dull as my heart
[mostrophus] you are a creature of time, i am eternity!
[mostrophus] i will make you go away with this song

the runes describe a golden melody, which mostrophus can not endure
but the more calmly singing sounds, the more he roars, no one can be sure
if this is the mostrophus, then we’re out of the town
we never thought he could have been the one
we are on the verge, we are on the verge
he’s the one, he is the one to save us, he is the one to save us all!
he is the singer, he is a poet, he is a warrior or engineer
he’s a songbird, a nightingale, a lark
one who understands we could all just have the upper hand

part 7: i am the singer… i am the song

i am the singer, so you came to me in a dream
i hope that if i bravely sing it out, you’ll come along with me as i sing i would!
the survivors of the town and villages all around
they hear this melodious hymn that is coming out of the ground
they’re all at the same time, they’re singing with him
and as they sing, he helplessly the monster pauses his murderous spree
and then he turns away

and gradually, and one by one the voices start to sing
and gradually the volume builds up, and they start to sing along, oh they sing…
just a simple melody, one tiny song!

part 8: exit

come join with me, people
join your voices to find the monster
let’s see if we can tame this monster, tune much more
our brave new world cannot stand
but his bellows can’t drown out the crowd
the voices are getting stronger in unison
together we’re getting closer
this is the sound the creature can not stand to hear
this is the signal that he and his kind are drawing

sing good people of basingstoke, sing good people of basingstoke
