Verse 1[edit]
Who is this man, who stands so calm and silent
While gazing out into the great abyss?
His face serene, his eyes bespeak a wisdom
Caught from the stars, a deep unfathomed bliss
He sails his mighty ship across the night skies
Its emerald sheen reflects a thousand suns
So quietly it flies, as out the portholes
Uncounted worlds are winking off and on
Verse 2[edit]
Among the fleet, no man is like the Captain
He stands apart, unequalled, bright and brave
Forever sworn to plumb arcane expanses
Primordial depths beneath galactic waves
An ancient traveler he, for hidden ages
Traversing glad this solitary road
Where he has gone, no mortal man may follow
For he is not a man, he is a toad!
Chorus[edit]
COMMANDER TOAD
COMMANDER TOAD
COMMANDER TOAD!
Verse 3[edit]
Commander Toad has crossed the gaping cosmos
No planet is there where he is unknown
His image shines upon the vaulting firmament
His name is writ in its foundation stone
The primal secrets whispered by the Old Ones
Commander Toad has known these mysteries
For he was there before the word was uttered
Before the darkness brought forth deities
Verse 4[edit]
Commander Toad, and who will speak of his birth?
The bounds of time and space had not been wrought
The universe's span he saw established
Before the gods had yet created aught
Commander Toad, O may he live forever!
Who roamed the spheres before the world began
Who saw the deep, Who climbed the highest heaven
Surpassing all the kings of mortal man
