lyrics

This is scout ship 72489 checking in.
You won’t believe this world we found; where do I begin?
Aside from several land masses that aren’t worth noting down
A miracle discovery I’m happy to recount-

Chorus
We found water!
Beautiful blue salty water!
We found water!
Not frozen, but free flowing water!
Right on the surface, it’s ready for harvest;
I know, this is hard to believe, but it’s here in insane quantities,
We found water!

We’ve tested it for pollutants, and while some floats about,
Our high tech filtration system will be fine to clear it out.
It’s all so full of electrolytes it won’t need to be treated;
Our long arduous journey shall fin’ly be completed,

Cause we found...
Chorus

Now some native Fauna seems to be reacting to our yield;
They’ve sent some simple missiles that can’t penetrate our shield.
It’s really rather sad, you know, how hard they’re lashing out,
But with all at home who’re suffering they’re just not something I can care about, when...

---------
Forged in the fires of Palestrinian counterpoint, three voices joined together to form Mandibles. They fought their way through Nur Ein XIII, and saw that there truly was Only One.... but alas, it was not they. Not to be discouraged, Mandibles immediately set to preparing their first live show, and were only moderately stymied by the realization that only one of them could passably play any instruments. Now, having learned to play, the members have scattered to the winds, combining their voices through the power of friendship!
