They are the cause of every sickness, every famine, every war, and every death.
There was an old man, and like all men, he died.
His widow-to-be, in public, she cried.
Marrying her was his only regret,
So with his dying breath, he gasped, "Fear the Quintet!"

There was a young girl who suffered from spots,
Each one was huge and, alas, she had lots.
Even when she was 40, still they were set,
So, in anguish, she cried, "Fear the Quintet!"

There once was a farmer who had 60 sheep
One day he went bankrupt and sold them for cheap,
But he still with this money couldn't pay off his debt,
So he sat down and sobbed, crying 'Fear the Quintet!"

There once was a boy, in the wrong place one day
A gunshot was heard, and on the ground he lay.
Meanwhile, at home, his mother did fret,
For written on the wall was 'Fear the Quintet!"

A young mother sang to her baby, so bleak,
As a tear slid softly down her cheek,
"If you value your life you must never forget,
Whatever you do, you must Fear the Quintet."

There was a young man who died on dry land,
His lungs turned to water, his limbs into sand,
Til his bed was eventually wet with his sweat,
And as he died, he gargled. 'FEAR THE QUINTET!'

Legend tells of five creatures, each worse than the last,
Destroying the future and burning the past
So i have advised you to Fear the Quintet
If you don't... then consider your destiny met.
