ian cooke - tyrannosaurus lyrics

once a mighty ruler, you are the darling of carnivores forevermore
roaring of the drover fills every heart and head of the herd with rampant fear
known to bring bone-busting bite to an attack – one fumble, then it’s over
when your blood runs cold, you know that danger’s near
can’t escape what ails me: parasites in my skull and arthritis in my spine
born to be lord of the dirt i hunt and breed on ’til my body fails me
i call the entire dominion mine

there’s an infection in my ankle and i know my days are numbered
’cause the pain increases every time i step on the left
the inflammation of the bones inside my foot is getting gnarly
i’m a highly active creature, not to mention my heft
it never sleeps; it never goes away

it’s fairly obvious my stature has its benefits
but wearing out my bones from all the weight i carry is part of the deal
there’s an ancestral form of trich-m-nas gallinae within me;
they will colonize and take you down in spite of your zeal
they never sleep; they never go away

alive, i was a tyrant, but after the catastrophe i rested doggo
now that i’m long-shuffled off the mortal coil
my skeleton stands dominant in chicago
i am a monument and living was worth the toil!

once a mighty ruler, you are the darling of carnivores forevermore
