A star falls down
from the darkened sky,
where new worlds born and die.
Kingdom Animalia watches
its approaching glow.
What it means is soon to be known.
Beneath the lovely birch
honeymakers build their nest in peace.
On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu.
To honor this moment
even the Heavens cease.
Giant spiders learn how to swim,
with whales they form a united kin.
Snakes say hello
to the rats on the ground.
In the meadows play merrily
the fox and the hound.
Trilobite and Anymalocharis,
the prey and the hunter.
Survival of the fittest,
fall of man.
Seadrops foam all empty human skulls,
those on the shores of Atlantis.
Darwin's resurrection is witnessed
by turtles he used to play with.
Healed and happy
she oversees the mother.
The tyrant's return to the sea!
from the darkened sky,
where new worlds born and die.
Kingdom Animalia watches
its approaching glow.
What it means is soon to be known.
Beneath the lovely birch
honeymakers build their nest in peace.
On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu.
To honor this moment
even the Heavens cease.
Giant spiders learn how to swim,
with whales they form a united kin.
Snakes say hello
to the rats on the ground.
In the meadows play merrily
the fox and the hound.
Trilobite and Anymalocharis,
the prey and the hunter.
Survival of the fittest,
fall of man.
Seadrops foam all empty human skulls,
those on the shores of Atlantis.
Darwin's resurrection is witnessed
by turtles he used to play with.
Healed and happy
she oversees the mother.
The tyrant's return to the sea!
