70 million years ago a raptor stood alone
the burning sunlight through the trees upon his feathers shone
he thought about his family who'd come to doubt his sanity
far from the dust he once called home

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

a big mosquito took some blood when he slept inside a cave
he woke to darkness all around his mind a scattered maze
he could hear his mothers warbled cries
he felt his fathers judging eyes
and his brothers voice who told him to be brave

aaaaaaaaaaaaahh

the dawn erupted to his dance with a serpent in the grass
the raptors claw was swift as thoughts but the slithered mind was fast
the serpent turned and spoke these words
'when i see you again i'll call you bird'
but the raptors claw to swift to slow mid slash
and the serpent flew to the ancient future past

the serpent flew ya ya ya
the serpent flew ya ya ya
the serpent flew ya ya ya
the serpent flew - shit!

the raptor stood there in a dream reflecting what he'd seen
he could not understand at all what would this omen bring?
then a rumbling sun the falling eye
the sound ripped holes across his mind
and the smell of feathered colors
burning ash
and the raptor flew to the ancient future past

the raptor flew ya ya ya (x9) Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
