A song about the mightiest hunter on The Isle to date. The Tyrant King T-Rex.
WHEN THE EARTH TREMBLES
Lyrics
[Intro]
The jungle holds its breath tonight,
The birds take wing in sudden flight.
A distant rumble shakes the ground,
And every creature knows that sound.
A shadow moves beneath the trees,
A distant roar rides on the breeze.
The forest falls to deathly still,
As something ancient stalks the hill.
[Verse 1]
Through tangled roots and ancient stone,
A giant walks the land alone.
With crushing jaws and piercing eyes,
He hunts beneath the darkened skies.
The grazing herds all turn away,
The swiftest hunters dare not stay.
For every beast beneath the sun
Knows when to fight and when to run.
[Chorus]
The branches break, the shadows part,
A primal fear grips every heart.
No mercy waits behind that roar,
Just teeth and claws and nothing more!
When the earth trembles, the giants rise,
A thunderous roar splits open the skies!
Run through the forest, flee into the night,
For even the mighty fall prey to his bite!
[Verse 2]
The Allos circle, three to one,
They think the battle's all but won.
But one wrong step, one fatal bite,
And one won't see another night.
The Raptors scatter through the trees,
Their calls are swallowed by the breeze.
A broken body, crimson ground,
Another meal the king has found.
And though even kings may sometimes fall,
Their shadows still loom over all.
For countless hunts and countless kills
Have taught the world to fear these hills.
[Chorus]
The branches break, the shadows part,
A primal fear grips every heart.
Let lesser hunters boast and roar,
The king has heard their threats before!
When the earth trembles, the giants rise,
A thunderous roar splits open the skies!
Run through the forest, flee into the night,
For even the mighty fall prey to his bite!
[Verse 3]
Upon the bank, a Stego stands,
Its tail sweeps low across the sands.
It will not flee, it will not yield,
Its plated back, a towering shield.
The spikes tear through the empty air,
The tyrant lunges, teeth laid bare.
The tail strikes hard against his side,
Yet still he comes with thunderous stride.
He finds his mark beneath the plates,
His final bite decides their fates.
The Stego falls where waters flow,
The king's roar shakes the earth below!
[Final Chorus]
When the earth trembles, the giants rise,
A thunderous roar splits open the skies!
Run through the forest, flee into the night,
For even the mighty fall prey to his bite!
Across the rivers, through the rain,
His footsteps thunder on the plain.
No crown of gold, no carved-out throne,
The island fears the king alone.
The earth still shakes beneath his stride,
The forests tremble far and wide.
Across the hills, his echoes ring,
The island knows its tyrant king.
