[Verse 1] [Male]
541 million years ago, the game began.
In the depths of the seas, a hidden feeling.
The Cambrian explosion, a life so fresh
Biodiversity flourished, a deep, colorful mix.
Through eons of time, the earth breathes quietly.
[Chorus] [male]
Phanerozoikum, tell me your sorrow,
Of the glory and the shadow of this time.
The heart beats in rhythm, but the soul is heavy,
Biodiversity is shrinking, I feel it more and more.
[Verse 2] [male]
In the Mesozoic, the reign of the giants,
Reptiles dance, the world full of plants.
The sun shines bright, a golden light,
But shadows rise, the future breaks.
A slow fall, humanity seems blind.
[Chorus] [male]
Phanerozoikum, tell me your sorrow,
Of the glory and the shadow of this time.
The heart beats in rhythm, but the soul is heavy,
Biodiversity is shrinking, I feel it more and more.
[Bridge 1] [male]
In the Mesozoic, the reign of the giants,
Reptiles dance, the world full of plants.
The sun shines bright, a golden light,
But shadows rise, the future breaks.
[Melodic interlude]
[Bridge 2] [male]
A slow fall, humanity seems blind.
In the silence of the night, the earth knows.
[Chorus] [male]
Phanerozoikum, tell me your sorrow,
Of the glory and the shadow of this time.
The heart beats in rhythm, but the soul is heavy,
Biodiversity is shrinking, I feel it more and more.
[Outro] [male]
Time is running out, the cycle is blocked,
In the silence of the night, the earth knows.
[Big Finish] [female]
In the Mesozoic, the reign of the giants,
Reptiles dance, the world full of plants.
The sun shines bright, a golden light,
But shadows rise, the future breaks.
A slow fall, humanity seems blind.
In the silence of the night, the earth knows.
In the silence of the night, the earth knows. (Knows) (Knows)
