Paleolithic Songtext
von Nocturnus AD

Over 2 million years ago, the emergence of primitive man
The first human development, of the Old Stone Age.

The Pleistocen Epoch, bringing glacial onset,
Initiating climactic cycle, The Gelasian Stage
Rapid changes occurring, ice sheets melting,
Causing rising sea levels, altered environment worldwide change.
Paleolithic era, Quaternary Period, land masses forming
Earth evolving, ice age ending, changes occurring
New plants growing, life reappearing, emergence of man
Cultural stage, human development, using stone made tools.


Grouping together, in small societies, ensuring their survival
Using stones, making weapons, hunting wild animals
Gathering food, creating housing, for their shelter
Discovering fire, cooking food, defending off predators.

Raw material, core prepared, centripetal reduction
Removing flakes, made of stone, achieving desired results
New techniques, great advancement, for early man.

Building rafts, the need to travel, across the water
Moving farther, discovering lands, migrating across the globe.

Creating weapons, for survival, based on hierarchy.

Animal carvings, cave paintings,
Forms of magic, ensuring a successful hunt
Shamanistic practices, symbolic patterns,
Depictions of, half human half animal beings.


Tribal society, animal cults, sacrificial hunting ceremonies
Altered states, of consciousness, through group ritual
Religious practice, honoring the dead, first human burial
Excarnation, ritual defleshing, preparing for The AfterLife!
