LYRICS (by CXXXVI)

You whispered in my ear  
Secrets of your past 
Tales from Saint Helena 
You were the Constantine of your time 

Your empire of secret tunnels  
Hiding your treasures below ground 
You were a goliath in a shrinking world 

You were a shiny black diamond 
Rejuvenating the life blood 
To the mighty gumwood trees 
They named you after Hercules 
But your strength wasn’t your power 
Your power was your weirdness 

You were more than a Danish fairy-tale 
When Johan Christian Fabricius  wrote about you in 1798 
You thought the world forgot about you 
Until 1962 
You were rediscovered just like an artists lost painting 

You shined on 
But come 1967 you were gone 
Permanently frozen in a psychedelic dream 
Planning to fly to the moon
Gone too soon

Extinct

Lyrics (by CXXXVI)

Well I survived the demons and cannibals
But the real threat was the god fearing man
He came at me with a gun in his hand

They said I was a tiger
But they silenced my roar
Killed my family
Then asked for more

They put a bounty on my head
Treated me like a criminal
Wouldn’t let me rest
Until they turned me into their Sunday best

They said I was a tiger
But they silenced my roar
Killed my family
Then asked for more

They put me in zoo
A jail cell
1932
It was the great depression
And I know a thing about the blues

They said I was a tiger
But they silenced my roar
Killed my family
Then asked for more

They came looking for me
Deep in the wilderness
But I knew better to show my face
To the beasts who only know disgrace

If you want to meet me than come into my den
Then perhaps we can be friends
I’ve talked to monsters not men

Roaming in the shadows
Hidden in plain sight
A leapard can’t change its spots
And a tiger can’t change time
