[Verse 1]
Sixty-six million years ago, the dinosaurs all died
Scientists had theories but the evidence was shy
An asteroid they figured, must have struck our ancient Earth
But where's the smoking crater that could prove what it was worth?
[Chorus]
Gravity shows the way, signals in the ground
Pattern recognition finds what can't be seen around
Chicxulub crater hiding underneath the stone
Algorithms solved the mystery that flesh and bone had grown
[Verse 2]
Oil companies were drilling in the Yucatan Peninsula
Their gravimetric sensors caught anomalies peculiar
Subtle variations in the gravity they found
But they were looking for oil, not mysteries underground
[Chorus]
Gravity shows the way, signals in the ground
Pattern recognition finds what can't be seen around
Chicxulub crater hiding underneath the stone
Algorithms solved the mystery that flesh and bone had grown
[Verse 3]
Signal processing algorithms enhanced the hidden clues
Filtered out the noise to find the patterns they could use
A perfect circle emerged, one-fifty kilometers wide
The exact predicted size where the asteroid had died
[Bridge]
Spatial recognition matched the timing just right
Sixty-six million years when dinosaurs lost their fight
The boundary layer matched, the dates aligned so true
The crater and extinction, algorithms showed us who
[Chorus]
Gravity shows the way, signals in the ground
Pattern recognition finds what can't be seen around
Chicxulub crater hiding underneath the stone
Algorithms solved the mystery that flesh and bone had grown
[Outro]
From oil survey data came the answer to the past
The algorithms found the truth that solved the riddle at last
What killed the mighty dinosaurs? The crater tells the tale
When gravity and patterns help, the algorithms never fail
