The Fall Of Atlantis

Lyrics

Verse 1

We built our towers to kiss the sky
Stone and gold where the eagles fly
Kings wore crowns of the morning sun
Certain our age would never be done

The harbors roared with a thousand sails
Every victory became a tale
From distant shores to the crystal sea
No power alive could challenge me

Pre-Chorus

But the ocean remembers
What proud men forget

Chorus

Atlantis!
Hear the thunder roll
Atlantis!
Watch the dark waves take their toll
We stood like giants
Believed we'd never fall
Now the sea keeps the memory
Of Atlantis and us all

Verse 2

The warning came on a restless tide
Old men whispered but youth denied
The earth below gave a trembling cry
Still we laughed beneath golden skies

The temples shone through the gathering rain
While lightning danced across the plain
The bells rang out but the hour was late
No king alive could bargain with fate

Pre-Chorus

And the ocean remembers
What proud men forget

Chorus

Atlantis!
Hear the thunder roll
Atlantis!
Watch the dark waves take their toll
We stood like giants
Believed we'd never fall
Now the sea keeps the memory
Of Atlantis and us all

Bridge

One by one the fires died
One by one the towers bowed
The sea climbed higher
The sea grew loud

Brothers carried brothers home
Mothers held their children near
As the kingdom of a thousand years
Disappeared

Final Chorus

Atlantis!
Let the ages know
Atlantis!
Nothing lasts beneath the sun
Empires crumble
But courage carries on
Though the city sleeps beneath the waves
Its story still lives on

Atlantis!
Atlantis!

The sea took stone
The sea took gold
But not the hearts
Of the brave and bold

Atlantis...
Lives on
