Back to the Beginning Lyrics by The Amoeba People

The Fossil Record

2019

Deep time--what's it really all about?
Is it even something we can know about?
How deep can you dig into history?
The deeper you go, the deeper the mystery
You can give it a name like Precambrian Time
But that's 4 billion years on a very long timeline
Magma to granite
Sandstone to quartzite
Limestone to marble
And shale into slate
[Chorus]
Can you take me back when the Earth was newly spinning?
Can you take me back, back, back, back to the beginning?
Can you take me back when the Earth was newly spinning?
Can you take me back, back, back, back to the beginning?
Time is marching on
On and on and on
(no stopping, no stopping, you just can't stop it!)
Time is marching on
On and on and on
Precambrian Time, mysterious, primeval
A time of great geologic upheaval
Primitive life in a shifting landscape
Try to comprehend it, it's enough to make you go ape
Magma to granite
Sandstone to quartzite
Limestone to marble
And shale into slate
[Chorus]
The Precambrian! Comprising seven-eights of Earth's history!
[Chorus]
From Precambrian to the Paleozoic
From the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic!
From Precambrian to the Paleozoic
From the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic!
From Precambrian to the Paleozoic
From the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic!
From Precambrian to the Paleozoic
From the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic!
Time is marching on . .
