Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
I think I heard it in an Indian song
When the change came on so strong
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
On target zero I heard the flute play
Sixty-five million years after the day
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
The story tellers knew the power so great
That it had to come from the hand of fate
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
There ceased the pounding of the drums
Once this land lay under the ocean
A world so different untainted by man
No one has ever seen it living
Under designs of another plan
We can dream about this place
Imagine the race
But we actually know nothing
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
From this side we try to imagine
It's not the same
Gone were they before we climbed
Loss stuck a blow that was tragic
Before we came
Alive are they in our minds
Killed by the comet that came from the sky
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tell me now
Did he put out his hand and destroy for all time
Are they gone
Or are they alive
In our minds
Because we want them to be
Or do they hide
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
If they are alive
What plans glimmer in his eye
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
In this day in age what stories do we believe
Do we want them alive and that's why we perceive
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
I'm strummin' my guitar the flute man plays
Here we're sitting on their grave
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Maybe this song goes out like a prayer
Reaching through time to an animal's lair
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Carried through time to their spirits
Savage world where the fittest survive
Dinosaurs passed without knowing us
Their legacy we claim though unrelated
Unravel their mystery we must
Because our existence they haunt
Their sudden demise taunts
They keep our attention on the void
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil
Chicxulub
Tail of the devil

Theotokis gave birth somewhere beyond
Her magical power fell out of reach
And kissed the Earth blessing Triassic beach
One cell split and became two in that pond
Great mother imagined stars in the sky
Oceanus filled with the trilobite clan
Spawning life to reach out and cover land
Her breath the cosmic wind blown with a sigh
Legends of mist filled the vast lands unknown
Creation's magic spectacular sight
Nature so pure with no trace of the blight
Select few have seen this in visions shown
Standing on Triassic beach I see time
For what was yet to come there was no sign
I long to return to Triassic beach
From here I could teach
The ways of peace and bliss
Wind song
Rosy gold dawn
Twin songs
Purple pools
Under the shadow of a double moon
Triassic beach
From here all had beginning
The true Garden of Eden
Corruption came and swept over the world
Upsetting the delicate balance
Taking all from the sea including the pearl
Everything in tune with nature lost chance
The universe spun perceived in a new dance
Over powered by lust leather and lace
Run through with the power of the lance
Until nothing remained in its true place
Returning to the past Triassic beach
Is unity forever out of reach
At one with the world all things could we teach
By learning secrets of Triassic beach
What is locked up and forever from view
Power to heal unite and make life new
I long to return to Triassic beach
From here I could teach
The ways of peace and bliss
Wind song
Rosy gold dawn
Twin songs
Purple pools
Under the shadow of a double moon
Triassic beach
From here all had beginning
The true Garden of Eden

Raptor captor entrapper
Like a wild bird of prey
In your true manifest form
Anger like a woman scorned
Voracious hunger meets the day
That metallic scream leaped out of the past
With red hide and slit orange eyes
A plumage on your crest
Like a crown on your head
Leaping on the back of your victim
A curved razor encased in amber
Blood filled jaws and red stained claws
Different than once perceived
Much more different in reality
Raptor captor entrapper
Like a wild bird of prey
In your true manifest form
Anger like a woman scorned
Voracious hunger meets the day
Hunting in packs along the edge of the forest
Jumping into trees not a trail you leave
Thrilling for the kill
Every creature feels the chill
With one bone crunching bite you stalk
With the blink of an eye comes the ambush
Titans clash and razor claws slash
There goes out a cry of agony
Drowned in the stench of victory
Raptor captor entrapper
Like a wild bird of prey
In your true manifest form
Anger like a woman scorned
Voracious hunger meets the day
Breaking the claw free from that eternal prison
Raptor's rage is released
Once again it ravages the world
This time unseen
It could be waiting in the jungle
Floating along in the air we breathe
Ruthless until the last falls
Of this nightmare we'll never be free
Raptor captor entrapper
Like a wild bird of prey
In your true manifest form
Anger like a woman scorned
Voracious hunger meets the day

Circles of water call out to life
Circles of water spawn the trilobite
Scattered across the globe circles of water
From circles of water all has come before
From circles of water will fish walk the shore
Hostile the world without circles of water
In circles of water there are lost worlds
In circles of water the future is assured
Only our world has circles of water
Maybe under frozen ice shelves of Antarctica
Or near the core of ice moon Europa
The trilobite lives in circles of water
In ponds and open seas
Trilobites fill circles of water
Like birds fill the skies
Or stars the galaxy
Like tear drops that fall from the clouds
Like tear drops that pelt the ground
Rain forms circles of water
Like tear drops of a girl Earth was young
Like tear drops falling from songs unsung
Trilobites splash in circles of water
Like tear drops on circles of water
Like tear drops from the sounds of laughter
There were perfect circles of water
Maybe under frozen ice shelves of Antarctica
Or near the core of ice moon Europa
The trilobite lives in circles of water
In ponds and open seas
Trilobites fill circles of water
Like birds fill the skies
Or stars the galaxy
