Mayab from Space Cadet by Strange Talking Animals
FAWM 50/90 2024 song 33
written and recorded on September 12, 2024
So, initially, I was thinking about forest fires, then I ventured on to forest fires started by explosions, which got me to thinking about the Chicxulub crater impact. And before the conquistadores, the Yucatan Peninsula was called Mayab. So, here we are.

Lyrics
When do I cross this road to Never?
What is Oblivion?
How do I break away from this nightmare?
When do I see the Sun?
The trees are burning and the sky is turning grey
And I don’t know what to do
The dust has turned to ash and cinder
And darkness, disarray
The chance to save in now behind us
The land has turned to clay
The trees are burning and the sky is turning grey
But I don’t know what to do
The night is everywhere, and life has gone astray
And I don’t know what to do
How do I find a way to remember
A life under the Sun
How do I change this road to forever?
When do I see the Sun?
