What Is Going On?

I think life is tremendously tenacious
And has an immense capacity to organize
Itself to meet
Any crisis provided it knows it's coming
There are scars on this planet
Enormous scars
There's a scar a billion and a half years old
On the Canadian Shield
That is twice the size of the lunar crater
Copernicus

Now, what is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?
Now, what is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?

This thing that came down 50,000 years ago
Out near Flagstaff, Arizona
That was a tiny object
It was something like 30 meters across
It was moving nine times the speed of a rifle bullet
It was six miles into the earth in the first
Second of impact
Everything within 800 miles died instantly
And this was a nothing burger, this thing
An object 500 meters across
The planet would ring like a gong for 10,000 years
The thing which killed the dinosaurs
They now believe they have the impact point
At the time of the impact, the entire area
Was a shallow ocean
But what I find eerie about the location
Of this impact point is
65 million years afterwards on this exact spot
A civilization will arise obsessed with the end of time
(A civilization will arise obsessed with the end of time)
And determined to give a date to it
It's within 110 miles of Chichen Itza,
It's near Dzibilchaltún
It's right in the heart of classic Maya country

What is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
What IS going on?
What, what is going on?
What is going on?
What, what is going on?
What IS going on?
