[Verse] In the depths of history A tale untold The Mediterranean Sea A crisis unfold A restless time A period of doubt The Messinian Salinity Crisis Let me lay it out [Verse 2] It all began millions of years ago When the sea was cut off from the world we know A massive drought The water dried Leaving behind salt and questions in its stride [Chorus] Oh The Messinian Salinity Crisis The mystery of the deep A sea left stranded Secrets it keeps Oh The Messinian Salinity Crisis A chapter in Earth's rhyme A tale of saltwater Lost in time
