Voices of long-forgotten life,
forever eternalized in crag
A portrait of the dim and distant past
was sculpted into petrified slag
Hollow are the creatures
paved before my eyes
For many million years,
they have been biding in disguise
Peacefully congealed
into their dreamless sleep
Ere a million tons of rock beds
have capped them in the deep
But as the years required their immolations,
the ocean's streams have carried owt away
Unsheathed were the extinguished generations
Nothing was untroubled by the tragedy
when time consumed its prey
Signs in the stone,
reminders of the past
But once the fossils begin to break,
the memories won't last
My mind is now afflicted by an antic,
an eerie visage screaming in my head
The will to bring them back's becoming frantic,
but one will never manage to revive the dead
Hollow are the creatures
paved before my eyes
For many million years,
they have been biding in disguise
Peacefully congealed
into their dreamless sleep
Ere a million tons of rock beds
have capped them in the deep
Signs in the stone,
reminders of the past
But once the fossils begin to break,
the memories won't last
A massgrave carved in stone
Voices of long-forgotten life,
forever eternalized in crag
A portrait of the dim and distant past
was sculpted into petrified slag
But as the years required their immolations,
the ocean's streams have carried owt away
Unsheathed were the extinguished generations
Nothing was untroubled by the tragedy
when time consumed its prey
