[Verse 1]
Natural Habitat called us up one day
Said pack your bags, we're on our way
To the Kingdom of Monarchs high above the clouds
Where stained glass wings make us all cry out loud
Three thousand miles, they did the math
Now we're walking this sacred path
[Pre-Chorus]
Eric says "breathe in deep"
Maru shows us what to seek
Time to let the magic peak
[Chorus]
This is a map (This is a map!)
Orange and black take flight!
In the Kingdom of Monarchs tonight
Where generations touch the light
Raise a shot of ethanol high
Watch a million wings paint the sky
In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Monarchs tonight!
[Verse 2]
Mechanoreceptors guide them home
Through mountain paths where ancients roam
Hydrodynamic butterfly dance
Got us all in a Mexican trance
Four generations made this flight
Now we're counting wings in morning light
[Pre-Chorus]
Maru tracks their precious flight
While Eric shows us inner light
Everything's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
This is a map (This is a map!)
Orange and black take flight!
In the Kingdom of Monarchs tonight
Where generations touch the light
Raise a shot of ethanol high
Watch a million wings paint the sky
In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Monarchs tonight!
[Bridge]
(Slower, building)
Found our family in the oyamel trees
Natural Habitat set our spirits free
Every butterfly tells a story
In this Kingdom of endless glory
(Building intensity)
Count them with Maru!
Breathe deep with Eric too!
This is what miracles do!
[Final Chorus - High Energy]
This is a map (This is a map!)
Orange and black take flight!
In the Kingdom of Monarchs tonight
Where generations touch the light
One more shot of ethanol high
Watch a million wings paint the sky
In the Kingdom, Kingdom of
In the Kingdom, Kingdom of
In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Monarchs tonight!
[Outro]
[Mounting energy to big finish]
Natural Habitat brought us home
To where the monarch spirits roam
Three thousand miles just to find
The Kingdom was in our minds
(All along!)
KINGDOM OF MONARCHS TONIGHT
