===============================================
[Intro]
[Start of Segment 1 (Dinosaurs)]
[Interlude: 16 bars , HEAVY, DISTORTED STONER METAL with slow, pounding drums and low-tuned guitar riffs to simulate heavy footsteps.]

[Verse 1]
Great lizards roam beneath the fern and pine
The heavy giants walk a jagged line
Across the swamps where ancient waters flow
Before the world had any seeds to sow.

[Chorus]
We ride the waves of every passing age
Dinosaurs, deities, dukes, dignitaries
The stars are shifting in the velvet sky
Timeless travelers trek through truth

[End of Segment 1 (Dinosaurs)]
[===============================================]
[Start of Segment 2 (Christ)]
[Interlude: 12 bars ,   GENTLE ACOUSTIC FOLK TRANSITIONING INTO SOARING GOSPEL with a Hammond organ and warm choral backing.]

[Verse 2]
A different light begins to pierce the dark
A carpenter arrives to leave his mark
He speaks of peace beside the Galilee
To change the course of all humanity

[Chorus][Gospel Choir]
(We ride the waves of every passing age)
(Dinosaurs, deities, dukes, dignitaries)
(The stars are shifting in the velvet sky)
(Timeless travelers trek through truth)

[End of Segment 2 (Christ)]
[===============================================]
[Start of Segment 3 (1066)]
[Interlude: 12 bars , DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL FOLK-ROCK with galloping percussion, brass fanfares, and aggressive medieval-style violin.]

[Verse 3]
The Norman ships are landing on the sand!
To take the crown of this divided land
King Harold falls beneath the raining shafts
The tapestry of fate and subtle drafts

[Chorus][Genre:  Stravinsky]
We ride the waves of every passing age
Dinosaurs, deities, dukes, dignitaries
The cycle turns until the end of days
Moments make massive milestones

[End of Segment 3 (1066)]
[===============================================]
[Segment 4 (Queen Elizabeth II)]
[Interlude: 12 bars, 90s hip hop, dance, disco.]

[Verse 4]
The purple fades into the evening mist
A hand that many millions once have kissed
The longest reign is coming to a close
The garden gives its final summer rose

[Pre-Chorus]
The hands are moving on the golden face
We’re jumping through the hollows of our space

[Chorus][Genre: 90s hip hop, dance, disco]
We ride the waves of every passing age
Dinosaurs, deities, dukes, dignitaries
The cycle turns until the end of days
Moments make massive milestones

[End of Segment 4 (Queen Elizabeth II)]
[===============================================]
[Outro]
Fading back
Through the track
Kings and beasts
All is one
Under sun

==============================================
Placed 25th.
