Lyrics

[Verse] Outside, near a pond where grass is high Passing by were the dragonflies Their bodies like liquid metal, their wings like stained glass One landed on an eight leaf petal, to sip some rain from grass Old as a ancient pass Old as the bees in the meadow For centuries, on the reeds where they settled Their history is like tea in a kettle Submerged, 'til above werе the birds Aquatic, like mud and the hеrbs Exotic, some genus have furs Melodic, European ones surge Over three hundred million years and still here They look unreal above rare Their flying skills not compared I saw one fly, then stood completely still in midair, the dragonfly Spring time they always near Upon our lake, that's where they're gonna find a mate Below, fish use spawn for their bait Dragonfly nymph, almost got ate But just wait, the hunted become the hunter It might last the entire summer Dragonfly larva in it's hunger The most vicious predator on the reservoir Life aquatic, let's explore Microscopic, on bedded floors They were here before the dinosaurs and the great China walls The first ape and the lion roars Dragonfly took shape, before the snake was worshipped on the Mayan shores Dragonfly before diamonds was forged From Africa, and science was law The odanada, [?] order and the [?] Before men was dying from swords or triumphant war The dragon was sore Face like a hammerhead shark, encased in the amber red art From the sap of a bark Who said that the plants and the trees wouldn't help man with modern day charts [Outro] From the dragonfly Dragonfly, dragonfly Dragonfly, dragonfly Was here, five hundred mil' Dragonfly, dragonfly One billion, fly Dragonfly, dragonfly Dragonfly, dragonfly Priest Yes Everything's fat Bank account
