+[Verse 1]
+In Devonian dreams, I swam in ancient streams,
+Armored plates of bone now turned to stone, in layers unseen.
+I drifted through the ages, beneath the changing skies,
+Silurian tides and quiet lullabies.
+
+[add soft drones + shimmer pads, watery textures]
+
+[breakout]
+
+[Verse 2]
+And then the earth would rumble, as giants walked above,
+Cretaceous feet would stumble on the bones they never loved.
+Until one day an ape would find me, and crack my stony shell,
+A sudden resurrection from my fossil’s ancient spell.
+
+[Verse 3 – Identity as Fossil]
+"I am Dunkleosteus, a fossil sealed in stone,
+Devonian deep my cradle, yet the ages I have known.
+Cambrian whispers, Jurassic storms,
+Ordovician shadows, Triassic forms.
+Permian silence, Silurian seas,
+Cretaceous thunder rolling over me."
+
+[ introduce slow rhythmic pulse, heavier synth bass, cavernous echo]
+
+[Bridge – Contingency]
+Out of countless bones dissolved, I alone was sealed in stone,
+A game of chance, the dice of time, the sea’s forgotten loan.
+Millions lost to silt and tide, erased without a sound,
+Yet through blind fortune’s alchemy, it’s me that you have found.
+
+[style: heavy warm textures, arpeggiated synth runs, building intensity]
+
+[Coda – Contingency + Wonder]
+Contingent as the starlight, as fragile as the sand,
+I never was assured of breath, nor of your searching hand.
+But now the eons whisper, their chorus is my name,
+A fossil born of accident, still singing just the same.
