This song traces the saga of humans and cats, from ancient grain-guarding heroes to modern meme stars, proving that no matter the era, it’s always cats who rule the world.
So long ago we parted
Now our lives entwine
So many ways our paths diverged
Then coalesced through time
Oh, you descend from darkness
I descend from light
Our senses tuned to different worlds
Contrasting day and night
Oh, little hunter!
Sylvian spirit of the night
Oh, little hunter!
Oh, how our strengths combine
And now you and I unite through time
Deified, admired
Demonized, maligned
From pyramids to industry
You march with us through time
Oh, little hunter!
Sylvian spirit of the night
Oh, little hunter!
Oh, how our strengths combine
And now you and I unite through time
And it’s cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
Yeah, it's cats all the way down
Were our hearts your real target
When you first guarded the grain?
Now mousers change to furry friends
And nothing’s quite the same
Will you live on forever
Encoded on the web?
A meme machine that never stops
As culture flows and ebbs
Oh, little hunter!
Sylvian spirit of the night
Oh, little hunter!
Oh, how our strengths combine
And now you and I unite
And now you and I unite
And now you and I unite through time!
Oh, and it’s cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
It's cats all the way down
