Composed in 2008, originally track 3 of The Download E.P. by Sins of the Watchmen
lyrics
Roaming the Earth, land of Pangaea
Brings devastation with every footstep
Helpless prey, the scent of blood fills its lungs
The land of blood, survival is a daily dance
Brutal existence
Predatory, disembowling beast of the past
Lightning fast, a creature of habit
Guts and eats its prey
Leaving only a skeletal carcass
Putrid, diseased
Gullet shredded, this creature lived so recently
Its flesh torn out rabidly, entrails strewn on the ground
Hunting the young, the weak who cannot run
Our world of blood and body-counts is blindingly similar
To a time where monsters reigned governmentless
Vicious beast, symbol of demise
The end will come from the sky
Brings devastation with every footstep
Helpless prey, the scent of blood fills its lungs
The land of blood, survival is a daily dance
Brutal existence
Predatory, disembowling beast of the past
Lightning fast, a creature of habit
Guts and eats its prey
Leaving only a skeletal carcass
Putrid, diseased
Gullet shredded, this creature lived so recently
Its flesh torn out rabidly, entrails strewn on the ground
Hunting the young, the weak who cannot run
Our world of blood and body-counts is blindingly similar
To a time where monsters reigned governmentless
Vicious beast, symbol of demise
The end will come from the sky

Your music connects on every level, whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. Impressive musicianship and song writing. Love how you leave this undefined space for us listeners to draw our own images and blend in our own personal lives when listening. Beacons is one of my favorite albums of all time!

Let Yourself Be Huge
by Cloudkickersupported by 4 fans who also own “Cretaceous Beast”
I still remember when this album released and all the intense euphoric melancholy that accompanied me while listening. You and Yours always reminds me of Christmas. Love this band and album!
