Cracking The Ancient Sea
UpbeatSometimes the biggest discoveries happen when everyone else has given up. This one's inspired by all the buzz around meteor strike — scientists who refused to accept "no" for an answer just proved that a massive asteroid slammed into what's now the North Sea forty-three million years ago, creating tsunamis taller than the Statue of Liberty. Here's their incredible story of persistence in "Cracking The Ancient Sea."
Lyrics
Verse 1
Beneath the waves of the North Sea floor,
A secret sleeping forty-three million years or more,
A hundred-sixty-metre rock came burning through the sky,
An asteroid on a collision course, blazing way up high,
The scientists kept searching, they never let it go,
Even when the vote said no, they had to know!
Chorus
They finally cracked the mystery wide open,
Proved the words that once were left unspoken,
A tsunami taller than the Statue of Liberty,
Hidden deep beneath the ancient sea,
Oh, they never stopped believing what could be,
They finally cracked the mystery!
Verse 2
They told the world the crater was a fantasy,
A panel cast their votes and declared the idea dead, you see,
But underneath the sediment the evidence was real,
Impact marks and shattered rock, a forty-three-million-year-old deal,
The North Sea held the truth beneath its tidal sway,
And patient minds would prove it all one day!
Chorus
They finally cracked the mystery wide open,
Proved the words that once were left unspoken,
A tsunami taller than the Statue of Liberty,
Hidden deep beneath the ancient sea,
Oh, they never stopped believing what could be,
They finally cracked the mystery!
Verse 3
So picture it — an asteroid slamming down with force,
A wall of water rising, devastating in its course,
Forty-three million years it waited to be found,
Now the proof is solid, and the science is sound,
From doubt to vindication, what a story to be told,
The North Sea gave up secrets worth their weight in gold!
Bridge
When everybody said it couldn't be,
They dove a little deeper in the sea,
Overturned the doubt and set the record free,
Oh, that's how discoveries are made,
By the ones who are never afraid!
Chorus
They finally cracked the mystery wide open,
Proved the words that once were left unspoken,
A tsunami taller than the Statue of Liberty,
Hidden deep beneath the ancient sea,
Oh, they never stopped believing what could be,
They finally cracked the mystery!
