This song by infamous YouTube cover artist and vocalist Jonathan Young and his band Galactikraken goes beyond the simplicity of most music. It doesn’t simply tell a story, convey an emotion, or shed light on an issue in society. Instead, it asks a deep and thought provoking question: what if someone tried to destroy the sun with an army of tigers?
Seriously, that’s what the song is about. A man on the ultimate quest to destroy the sun with nothing but his wits, power of will, and his army of tigers. A purely lighthearted song from start to finish, featuring Jonathan Young’s signature style: catchy instrumentals and his deep and powerful voice.

Army Of Tigers
There is one enemy that no one has the courage to destroy
She sends us cataclysmic cancer from her castle in the void
She blinds our children, burns our skin
Dries our crops and rivers thinned
You already know her name
Yeah, I’m talkin’ bout the sun
Against her no one’s ever won
But I’ve got a plan so we can win, yeah
I command an army of tigers
Fight on land and sea and sky
Quench the final fire, extinguish heaven’s light
I command an army of tigers
Defeat the sun tonight
Since our creation we have suffered this disease that you call day
But with my mighty feline army I will find a better way
If we work hard and persevere
There is nothing we should fear
It’s our faith that makes us strong
Nothing that we can’t achieve
If we only just believe
What could possibly go wrong?
I command an army of tigers
Fight on land and sea and sky
Quench the final fire, extinguish heaven’s light
I command an army of tigers
Defeat the sun tonight
I command an army of tigers
Fight on land and sea and sky
I command an army of tigers
Fight on land and sea and sky
Quench the final fire, extinguish heaven’s light
I command an army of tigers
Defeat the sun tonight
