Oh, How We Fell

Ancient howling came back to Earth And before long more species followed Some contested against this unnatural birth But no one could deny it’s monetary worth Then after a little - our world was swallowed Even though we lacked a time machine We ended back up in the Pliocene Then we fell We fell down and down Further down the chain The more scientists screwed with the current domain Some of us reverted back as well Gathering and hunting, because our old-new world fell Some would live and some would die Kids were taken and mothers cried The ones in white coats were mostly taken first They were the ones who unleashed the curse Cities got taken by giant birds They roosted atop the buildings we built Everywhere you went, a sound could be heard The sound of blood being spilt Predators and their megafauna prey Against each other make the worst sound I’ve heard to this day But at least it’ll keep them fed Sometimes that sound made me sleep more soundly in my bed Oh how the tables turn And how we turned them till the world burned
