Floodgate 07:30
Oh well, never mind I won’t ask you again Just wanted to Understand you a little bit more You can’t go back but you want to Don’t wanna be here don’t wanna be you You know sometimes people just have to do what they’re meant to do You know I’ll always be here for you Don’t wanna be a saviour But I wanna be with you Til the end of time Tune in to the right station And let everybody know Riots,people running like an earthquake People, who have planned every minute Just throw away the calender and run Standing by the floodgate Safe from the fire We will let the water flow No one really knows And no one would believe us We’re fading all together No one's gonna save us We’re falling with the rain We need no sympathy But time has come to get it done Race against the rising tide Cancer growing in everyone Don’t hesitate, don’t be afraid of what they’re gonna do Or maybe it’s exactly what we have to be afraid of. Imagine a young girl with plans for the future Imagine an old man with plans for the children They sing for tor tomorrow Without any sorrow They should be afraid of us Would they believe me if I was a Rich and intolerable man? I pretend to be somebody far away from here Where I transform my energy To starlight I have seen a memory of places lost in time Now I know we’re never gonna tell them

Fear is the easiest thing to find and preserve More deadly than anything in the world Growing everywhere in the fields Poisoning the minds of the weak You say hello to your neighbour But you know he’s obsessed with fear He waits for a miracle Meanwhile he’s a preacher Spreading hate and bitterness Waiting for the better days Meditates in his own way Don’t understand what happened to the World he knew where he was safe When he didn’t feel the fear Make him stand in front of me I’ll tell my story, he’ll believe A sacrifice he’ll have to make I’ll open up the box again All of his fear is now taken away Stored in a magical, mystery machine He’s been a very brave boy We stand before a long journey To the center of the universe Or is it closer than we think Maybe just Venus Maybe they have seen us Maybe they will welcome us all On the bottom of a black hole I wanna know before we go Armageddon is not the right word they said It’s more like a new beginning you see You have to collect all the perfections and the imperfections The peace and the violence Cause we can’t live without it I said I can’t live without my friends I can’t live without the sunlight in the morning Everytime I wake up I feel fear, the end is near It’s a part of me so please don’t take it away

We went down to the marketplace To find a sample of purest happiness and laughter There is one in a million A grain of sand in the ocean Smaller than anything you can see It’s not easy to find them The pure hearted The kind and innocent We don’t have time This could be our last chance to Save the laughter I wont let it die The master tells you Not to be good, not to be loved It’s in your head Kicking you out Making you cry Dismantle madness Split it into sadness And weakness It is not what we are looking for We walked in from the cold outside We were tired and needed something else to think of But there in the corner Was a man in a wheelchair He had eyes like the setting sun We couldn’t resist We walked towards him And decided to ask if he could tell his story ”Maybe I can tell you later But now it’s my turn to dance with the woman of my dreams I’ve been waiting all day with a smile on my face, I’ll fly” It’s time for us to make a choice The box is now ready to be opened It opens every time we’re finding what it needs A key, a fingerprint and someone who believes No mortal girl has never seen the light inside It makes you weak but still it’s strengthening your mind

A good start 01:39
I wrote a story once Created a world like a god Once the prince disappeared When he was riding into the forest I didn’t care anyway Cause sometimes you just have to follow what you believe

My dad was a traveller He got lost on the ocean He never came back My mother taught me devotion I lost my way But my tounge was pierced and deadly She made me a believer But noone was believing in me Now, then, forever Everywhere, nowhere, here I’ll go with you In your footsteps When I disappear from view It is all I wanna do Pieces of a dream Another passage in between truth and magic At last I found it Life is just a scene Or is it real Now I’ve got something to hold on to What a lucky day Now I’m on my way Gotta find the way to my treasureq It goes over and over again Somethings wrong I can’t find the magic potion You drink it and you see all the passages around you” I don’t understand Maybe I’m not worthy I lost my mind and suddenly I found it I will travel far away But my memories will stay Open up the door Walk into the dark Waking up a ghost from a past life Feel it in my flesh Feel it in my bones There is only only one way to find ou What a lucky day Now I wanna stay I can hear their voices inside my head We know it’s hard it’s a curse but we know that Your heart is pure Your strength is endless You still have a choice Consider it a challenge A world on shoulders It’s not what you asked for Choose a companion Find a believer Then make him follow You better choose wisely Cause oneday He’ll be The only one in Your life

I said yes And she took me home I was sleeping on the couch There was a bittersweet voice in my head A scent of freedom I was hyperventilating when she looked at me and asked If I had ever seen my thoughts float away like soft clouds in the summer And into the sky Disappear leaving a scar inside my soul The windows open too wide I am scared of falling down There’s a secret she keeps in a jar behind a door But who is it for Is it meant for the common people Or the living dead Maybe it’s not worth trying Maybe it’s just black magic is it someone trying to say that the world is dying Is it really my part To be a good example Would you be my companion When we travel to the stars Standing here on a trampoline Dive into a dirty pool Walk right up With a fading scent of madness No hesitation No remorse When I saw her standing over me She made all my fear go away Like rainbows in the desert I don’t know why When I think of home I only see the sky In another life We could have a good time Laughing in the rain Sleeping in the backyard Waiting for the night Kissing by the fire Waking up too late making love again We could take a trip to a place in the sun We could see the stars lying on an empty beach But we are changing slowly And what will we become
7.
I’m so tired of this bloody war I long for the times we had before It wasn’t really great but I was home Being myself not afraid to talk My mind is set for the silver sky My energy’s low and I don’t know why Maybe it’s just a waste if time They kicked me out did it all for love. Into battle Like my father For believers For everybody If you wanna get back If you wanna believe that everything will be just like before They will hurt you again They will hunt you down And make you understand that you are dead I killed again He didn’t make a sound When life was leaving him all alone I broke the oath I ran away From everything Even my own sanity I am the sound of the pale moonlight And I just wanted to go home Take me to the time when it all began It’s a long tradition that I have to break I gotta prove that it’s all a fake There’s a bullet in the barrel Make no mistake A radical mind with a heart of gold It’s not worth anything from their point of view I’m gonna pull the trigger in the afternoon Gonna save everybody Gonna cure my whole world too Well As you may know now This song is about courage To change something that is wrong About making a hard choice To not care if it will kill you To rise above the voices To stop and never follow There’s a crossroad In the forest Choose the right path And I will lead you Throught the darkness Cross the marshes Over mountains Close your eyes You’re there You’re safe You’ll never die

about

On September 30th 2020, PreHistoric Animals first concept album was released - The magical mystery machine (chapter 1). The story is based on Cora and Jareths diary; written somewhere, sometime in a world not far from here. Cora is given the mission to collect humanitys good and bad sides. Perfection and imperfection. Fear, happiness, greed and all the other things that make us human. She receives a box with a mysterious device inside where all the information is stored. She finds out that the world is dying and she is the only one on earth that knows except for her sidekick, Jareth who isn’t even half as brave as her. All information inside the device will be used to re-create earth somewhere else in the universe and they are promised to go there if their mission get’s accomplished.
