Fight 1 — The Mountain in the Trees

QF1: Elephant (#1) vs Tiger (#8/WC) — winner Tiger 2–1

Lyrics

[Barker - Intro]
The number-one seed! Six thousand kilos of unanimous! …and the wildcard picked the trees.

[Barker - Verse 1]
On the open plain the mountain is a god you cannot move,
but the cat did not fight fair — the cat had nothing left to prove.
He dragged the giant into green where the trunks grow close and tight,
and a mountain cannot turn around in the ambush of the night.

[Sisu - Refrain]
the bigger they are…
the smaller the room you need…

[Barker - Verse 2]
The elephant took the second round, on the flat the elephant's king —
seventy-five and seismic, made the whole arena ring.
But the third went to the wetland, and the stripes were waiting there;
the mountain that walks went down in the dark, with no plain anywhere.

[Barker + Sisu - Chorus]
The mountain in the trees! The mountain in the trees!
You can be the strongest thing alive and lose it where you please —
the cat chose the ground, and the ground chose the cat;
the number one is out, and that — friends — is that.

[Outro - Barker]
Upset! The wildcard advances. Did I not tell you to watch this one?
