Gorillas on horses
Chase a lone human
Through a jungle and
Into an open area
Where he is captured
And thrown into a cage.

Two scientists observe him
Taking care of him
But the boss fears him
This man who can speak.

So his fate lies
In the long arms
Of an orangutan leader.

But his escape is futile
Because he can't escape the apes
Or himself.

Taking beautiful Nova 
With him
Into the Forbidden Zone
Where his desperation
Leads to Earth's destruction.

While the bomb is detonated
Three chimps leave Earth
Travelling to the past
Where a human society
Full of fear
Eliminates them
But a son is left behind.

A primate loving circus owner
Raises Caesar 
Who rises up against
Human brutality to
Reclaim Earth as his own.

Apes now in charge
He treats humans fairly
But a gorilla named Aldo
And paranoid mutant humans
Wage war.

With the death 
Of Cornelius
Caesar's only son
The fate of humanity and simians
Go in a direction together.

It's now up to them
For peace or destruction
Coexistence will be a challenge
For both species.
