@helixranger2625
A lizard became a dragon.
Human evolves 5x faster.
A bird became a Phoenix.
A pond floods into a ocean.
Causes the Continental Drift.
Your car became a Death Run car.
You toy plane is a fighter jet.
This pen is now a spear.
This baguette is now a sword.
My motorcycle became the one in Ghost Rider.
The rock became a meteor.
This is gdtting old, but the song renews.

HEARING THIS SONG GIVES ME THE ABILITY CUT THROUGH A HOT KNIFE WITH BUTTER!

@jamieolberding7731
@@iVince905 I strongly agree. I can totally imagine a fearsome epic climatic final battle raging between thousands of powerful, near indestructible, relentless, and terrifying Shadow Vessels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlMiG7f-Edw (from Babylon 5) appearing out of nowhere emitting unearthly shrieks, attacking, and decimate an entire fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers while the EPIC "United We Stand - Divided We Fall" music plays in the background.
