The Last Unicron

[bnewman]

This mashup — based on a typo! — of The Last Unicorn (and its theme song) and the Transformers movie may be one of the most 80s things I've ever written.

lyrics by Benjamin Newman
ttto: "The Last Unicorn" by America

listen to this song

/ Em C - D / / Em Bm C G / C G C D - /

 

When the last starship flies out from the last crumbling station

And the last robots gaze out at the vast desolation

In the shadow of a world that will not see another dawn

They will stare unbelieving at the last Unicron

 

When they look to the sky, it's no moon that is rising

But a machine with a maw that stretches across the horizon

That can swallow a whole planet, 'til the planet is just gone

But no world can sate the hunger of the last Unicron

 

/ G Em D Em / - Bm C D - /

 

It's alive!  It's alive!

 

In the War of the Ancients they strode between the stars like giants

But when Cybertron was formed, the Transformers rose up in defiance

Thinking all had been destroyed, they learned too late that one lives on

All the galaxy's in danger from the last Unicron

 

When the last moon collapses into a new star of morning

And the last fleet is trapped without even a last desperate warning

Then look into the sky where through the stars a path is drawn

Face your fear and bring the battle to the last Unicron!

 

We'll survive!  We'll survive!
