2. The Cambrian Explosion (3:58)
Toxic horizons
Pestilent holes
Mountains rain from the sky
Earth starts to freeze
Equator to poles
Nothing to do here but die
Bacteria
Choking themselves to extinction
Decaying to sulfurous slime
Purple, the seas
Stagnant, they lie
Reduced to hell without time
Until from the poisonous ooze
Two chemical archangels climb
The Gemini
Of collagen and oxygen
Microbes cluster together
Echo themselves toward the sun
Quietly emerge from the nether
Zombified eons expire
Ancient mycelium stirs
Awakens a stygian choir
Solo - Morean
Pulsating stenches
Soar from the trenches
Congregate, never to sever
Membranes unite
Excrete and divide
Transforming the planet forever
Third time's the charm
Breathe
And a paradigm plunges
Brought to its knees
By molds, fungi and sponges
And then something else
Propels the cells
Away from death's erosion
Conjugates
Accelerates
The Cambrian Explosion
Shocked from slumber
Sways and lumbers
A reborn evolution
The wheel of hunger
Looms humongous
An unborn revolution
And one more time
In the slime
Cell walls groove
Things start to move
Red algae first
Then some worms
In the muck
Things start to fuck
One more tooth
Mouths that thirst
Drawn by light
Things start to bite
One more limb
One more eye
Claws that pry
Things start to die
One more spine
Things start to run
The ocean bursts
The hunt is on
Solo - Hannes
An eon awakes
Fueled by a trillion demises
Ruin awaits
Looms in a million disguises
Predators start to crave more
Multiply as if possessed
To mutate to more lustrous shores
Magnified monsters aspire
Newborn spectacles stun
Exultant on wings of immortal desire
Pestilent holes
Mountains rain from the sky
Earth starts to freeze
Equator to poles
Nothing to do here but die
Bacteria
Choking themselves to extinction
Decaying to sulfurous slime
Purple, the seas
Stagnant, they lie
Reduced to hell without time
Until from the poisonous ooze
Two chemical archangels climb
The Gemini
Of collagen and oxygen
Microbes cluster together
Echo themselves toward the sun
Quietly emerge from the nether
Zombified eons expire
Ancient mycelium stirs
Awakens a stygian choir
Solo - Morean
Pulsating stenches
Soar from the trenches
Congregate, never to sever
Membranes unite
Excrete and divide
Transforming the planet forever
Third time's the charm
Breathe
And a paradigm plunges
Brought to its knees
By molds, fungi and sponges
And then something else
Propels the cells
Away from death's erosion
Conjugates

The Cambrian Explosion
Shocked from slumber
Sways and lumbers
A reborn evolution

Looms humongous

Exultant on wings of immortal desire
