"Lacertine Forest" lyrics

In this world there's an unknown forest
Deep within parts not explored - yet

A corner of earth that's a mystery
Though only to our human race

A residence, of an ancient clan
That have lived here for generations
And have survived
By remaining in this place of seclusive presidence

A forest - an extensive population
Of lizards - various breeds
Most un-named
Some with almost human features
Most half breeds

Some you'll find can even fly
Their species is growing larger
All are born, within the trees
And their skin is rough like
Scaled... Bark...

They are born with just a mother
From a spawn taken from the tree
It is secreted on her skin
Within days a child is within

Only six weeks and the child is born
A male but no genitals
There are no need for these
As all are fathered by the trees

This is a race on a steady decrease
An unknown foe called 'humans'

Deadly pollution
Drifting across
Ocean to their land

Causing - drought
Killing the trees
Taking their life source
Causing distress
Elders call council

Much discussion
Form strategy
Then after much careful planning, decides
To send a troop of flying lizards, a-broad

Their mission is to discover
What it is that is destroying
Their fragile eco-system
And to try make things right

We are a race from an ancient source
That have lived here for generations
And have destroyed- a multitude of things in
Our time of residence

We must now face our destruction
By a division of lacertilians
Their bodies are more resistant to our
Weapons than anything we can create

We are now doomed to extinction
And we surely deserve it
Deluded arrogance
Mistreatment, of our world
Will lead to certain death
Please forgive - our human race
