Jurassick Dark

Before we appeared, its evolution crafted
Extraordinary creatures we couldn't even imagine
Phylums fantastic, appetites gigantic
Bird-like lizards with a surprising advantage

Survival of the fittest brought an age of massives
Cretaceous synapsis through days Jurassic
And in those days giant tree limbs snapped with
A slow moving stream made of sap which

Encased proboscis suckers, blood residing thoracic
As amber preserved Dee-oxy-ribo-nucleic acid (DNA)
Which stayed safe for millennia like current day plastics
Until we arrived to extract it

With lasik-like precision, visions of reliving the past
Advents in cryogenics, the first egg hatched
It took the world by surprise
How could time's passage all of a sudden become elastic?

They say rage is primal but we're just tiny mammals
When it comes to the wars we wage
Beliefs are motifs until their waves become tidal
Drowning all in glorious ways

DNA spun a vital, double-helix recital millenniums before we reigned
History is suicidal, if man remains its rival
We'll all go extinct, like the dinosaur age

Evangelicals say earth was created in 7 days
But their literature has no pictorial proof
Saying God created dinosaurs but considered them corrupted
So he killed off that phantasmagorical OOPS!

I guess the Garden of Eden had no regard for the heathens
It wouldn't dare let in such gargantuan, great groups
Adam must've thwarted behemoths from reaching the gate
While Jesus guarded Eve from that garden snake's tooth

Disregard for discoveries made in the midwest plains
Turns the real dino story dissolute
Some are so ridiculously in the dark
They think brachiosaurs fit on the ark
That doesn't float in the primordial soup

Evolution's not a theory, creationism's an illusion
The 'Good Book's editorial pursuit
Bible thumpers keep trumping along with such assumptions
Which couldn't carry the weight of a T-Rex foot

They say rage is primal but we're just tiny mammals
When it comes to the wars we wage
Beliefs are motifs until their waves become tidal
Drowning all in glorious ways

DNA spun a vital, double-helix recital millenniums before we reigned
History is suicidal, if man remains its rival
We'll all go extinct, like the dinosaur age

Look I know its a lot of time to digest
No way we could know the entirety of what life did exist
All we can do is turn stones and describe what's left
Study footprints and bones, surmising the rest

I just think claims of supersized humans are kind of a stretch
Assuming dinos lived beside man in the book of Genesis
Is the wildest guess

It was one thing for Cope to put an Elasmosaurus skull
On its tail instead of its neck
But quite another to claim they were human giants
A union of God's sons and the daughters of men

Pencils up class, it's time to reflect
Imagination's beneficial and we're trying our best
But bone wars keep breaking ties that bind and protect
Our own existence which consists of the tiniest speck

So, when you think of the past show a little respect
Five mass extinctions, at the brink of the next
What have we learned?
Life on earth's been kind of a mess

I say lets keep gathering facts for what little time we have left
Abolish history's abominable text and
Quit pretending we're an indomitable Rex
