Death March

Long Walk back to Jurassica
Long walk back to Jurassica
Long walk back to my kith and kin
Long walk back to Jurassica
Last journey home, death march begin

And in the night the world is still, tawny owl sings low and deep
No human witness bares the tale, by shadow nocturnes creep
Swollen moon of silver sheen, perspires swarthy light
The death march of the dinosaur, two million years in flight.

The night falls still in sweet reverence
Ghosts hang their heads to weep
A pre-historic footfall shakes the forest floor from sleep
The thunder of Jurassica, a dinosaur’s demise
Nothing left for him on earth, he lumbers back in time

Long walk back to Jurassica
Long walk back to my kith and kin
Long walk back to Jurassica
Last journey home, death march begin

Ages fold in on themselves, centuries implode
And time recedes from planet's crown, past's follicles of old
Evolution’s not so smug now, he's twisted in defeat
Progress pisses down his leg and pools around his feet.

Liberty's a homeless hag, torch traded in for crack cocaine
Freedom's into S&M she's handcuffed, nipple clamped and chained
Lizzie's guards at Buckingham have gone to find some hole
And the severed head of William Gates stands guard upon a pole

Long walk back to Jurassica
Long walk back to my kith and kin
Long walk back to Jurassica
Last journey home, death march begin.

At the threshold to the past, lizard looks at future failed
His whale-like liquid eye is speared with sorrow, future hailed
In the scaly reptilian's tiny mind, he formulates a question
Was progress just a classic case of spontaneous combustion?

(Why not ask Steve Hawkin
Why not ask Steve Hawkin)

The Dinosaur walks through timeless door,vast valley, rolling hill
Won't miss Jerry Springer, Oprah, talk show overkill
Vine and leaves fill his herbivore soul, beats queuing for the dole
Awaits the birth of Adam for the doom bell's prophetic toll.

Long walk back to Jurassica
Long walk back to my kith and kin
Long walk back to Jurassica
Last journey home, death march begin.
