Aysheaia was a genus of Cambrian-aged soft-bodied, caterpillar-shaped fossil organisms with average body lengths of 1–6 cm.
Aysheaia has ten body segments, each of which has a pair of spiked, annulated legs. The animal is segmented, and looks somewhat like a bloated caterpillar with a few spines added on — including six finger-like projections around the mouth and two grasping legs on the "head." Each leg boasts a subterminal row of about six curved claws. No jaw apparatus is evident. The pair of legs marks the posterior end of the body, unlike in onychophorans where the anus projects posteriad; but this may be an adaptation to the terrestrial habit.
Based on its association with sponge remains, it is believed that Aysheaia was a sponge grazer and may have protected itself from predators by seeking refuge within sponge colonies. Aysheaia probably used its claws to cling to sponges.
A terminal mouth is also seen in tardigrades that are omnivores or predators (but not detritovores or algavores) — this may provide an ecological signal.
Buildings burning, blazing in the night
Searchlight sweeping, lazer beams of light
Desolation, smoke has filled the sky
Siren wailing, who can hear my cry?
So the darkness leaves me never
And the grinding wheels are turning ever
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
When I was young I was the golden son,
People said I was the chosen one
And I knew I must walk like a man
Never fail, and do the best I can
When I see that light come shining
When I feel the sacred spirit rising
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
When I see that light come shining
When I feel the sacred spirit rising
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
I believe that God is love, and that's enough (I believe that God is love)
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, (I will stand or I'll fall)
When I face that verdict today (It's really not the End of the World)
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,'
End of the World
End of the World
It's really not the End of the World
End of the World
