“Tha cicadas are singing this en masse in their mother tongue~” Eight year old minime howls at the moon and passes the Angel this poetry.

If one ever wanted to sum up what the Cicada anthem is these bad boys are screaming it would probably be everything Def Leppard.

Gunter glieben glauchen globen

All right, I got something to say
Yeah, it’s better to burn out
Yeah, then fade away

All right
Oh
Gonna start a fire

C’mon

Rise up, gather round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up, let’s go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke

Rock on, rock on
Drive me crazier
No serenade, no fire brigade
Just the pyromania, come on

What do ya want?
(I want rock ‘n’ roll) yes, I do
(Long live rock ‘n’ roll)

Oh, let’s go let’s, strike a light
We’re gonna blow like dynamite
I don’t care if it takes all night
Gonna set this town alight, c’mon

What do ya want?
(I want rock ‘n’ roll) all right
(Long live rock ‘n’ roll) oh, yeah, yeah

Rock of ages, rock of ages
Still rollin’, keep a-rollin’
Rock of ages, rock of ages
Still rollin’, rock ‘n’ rollin’

We got the power, got the glory
Just say you need it
And if you need it say yeah
Oh, yeah, heh heh heh heh
Now listen to me

I’m burnin’, burnin’, I got the fever
I know for sure, there ain’t no cure
So feel it, don’t fight it, go with the flow
And gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme one more for the road, yeah

What do ya want?
(I want rock ‘n’ roll) you betcha
(Long live rock ‘n’ roll) now hit it

Rock of ages, rock of ages
Still rollin’, keep a-rollin’
Rock of ages, rock of ages
Still rollin’, rock ‘n’ rollin’

We got the power, got the glory
Just say you need it
And if you need it say yeah
Say yeah

We’re gonna burn this damn place down, wo-ho
Down to the ground
