[hometext] => I once used to be a proud man, As pride comes before a fall.
[bodytext] => I walked with the Dinosaurs And ate at their table. No cutlery was required, As Dinosaurs have small claws And rarified table manners. I flew with the pterodactyls, Over the fuming volcanoes. No wings were required As Pterodactyls have big wings And believed in my word. I swam with the Hainosaurus, Deep down into the fertile seas No fins were required, as I Could hold my breath for hours And mosasaurs feel honoured. Yet, across all these planes I never knew of man. I only knew his shadow, Ecliptus - the darkling peer. And him, I shunned with pride. Through aeons, this peer knew Me and I, plus grinding bones Were doomed to wander waters; Die with the Dinosaurs, Rise through volcanoes, Soar o'er the skies ... Like Ash. And Kill.
