lyrics

Imagine the Earth as it once was
When life was young and finding ways to colonize
From the dark abyss to the green of lands
Before conquering the skies.

And science says dragons were real
(The titans exhumed and revealed)
The lost world can be found again
And science says dragons were real
(The Lost World is ours to rebuild)
If we just take it in our hands

Stand on the shoulders of giants
But careful when the giant wakes.

Higher!
On the lane of progress we’ll go
Faster!
We are no longer creatures
But creators!
In nature’s hidden garden we’ll crown ourselves as rulers of
Errors
The garden’s a jungle of
Tyrants
Truth is there’s no controlling
The wrath of the earth
Everything’s always moving and changing
On the edge of no return

It’s child’s play, it’s such a simple idea!
Our brains put us at the top of the chain
Just aim and soon we’ll own the sun and stars
Tell me, have we gone too far?

For science says dragons were real
(The titans exhumed and revealed)
The lost world can be found again
And science says dragons were real
(The Lost World is ours to rebuild)
If we just take it in our hands

Higher!
On the lane of progress we’ll go
Faster!
We’re no longer creatures
But creators!
In nature’s hidden gardens we’ll crown ourselves as rulers of
Errors
The garden’s a jungle of
Tyrants
Truth is there’s no controlling
The wrath of the earth
Everything’s always moving and changing
On the edge of no return

“No cage is strong enough
And in the end we are entertained
Yet so fragile
Another treat for forces unleashed to devour”

Stand on the shoulders of giants
But careful when the giant shakes.
