Flobots - Defend Atlantis lrc by Jermen That was as far as the tide came in I remember the starfish and the wails of the sirens then We replaced the tridents, embraced Poseidon Discovered ourselves living on an island We flow like water 'cross the lost city Chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti In continents, trade off for payoff And high concepts then lost to K-Os Many tales radiate from one nexus Defending a dream of a new directive A call from the deep sums up a notion The day when the people bum-rushed the ocean From the beaches they Ran to meet the day after Underneath, the waves Won't repeat the same chapter Knew what they had to do That which creates life Has power to take it right back Fucking with the icecaps We gotta push the tide back We can survive, collapse if we don't get sidetracked If we visualize living underwater hidden by prisms Countries fall but people transition If one for all, we live in that vision Hundred dollar bill Origami Balloon inflation, new world economy We float on tsunami to global warming We need structures to control what's coming Corporate monopolies obsolete The philosophy leaves us lost at sea But from Marwar to Cochabamba We are the warriors that won't get conquered 'Cause rising tides drown all villages Divided fighters succumb to pillage Rescuers whatever your latitude It's time to pioneer a new world attitude Put local cycles first we're Global Islanders with nothing left to plunder From the beaches they Ran to meet the day after Underneath, the waves Won't repeat the same chapter Knew what they had to do For centuries Human beings have pursued the meaning of Atlantis Central to their teaching is that it's existence Answers man's essential questions Much like the feeding of the five thousand Even if the facts aren't accurate, the story's magic is alive Of utmost importance to convert the impertinent Atlantis holds the answer to man's ills at their most pertinent Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel Is this all that you hold for a warrior's role? The ground shakes, you claim my country, not my soul I fought, I toiled for the lost in the waves And I will not tire, I'll die no slave If the sea's my grave I sleep with my city, my people, my oath, my shame, my city Is that I cannot save my city from the waves that claim you And curse the Gods who can't explain who to blame At the end of the reign, heed me The season passes Atlas, his keep's in the sediment Failing monumentally and leaving no monuments to see Only sea to shining sea And survival hinged on the ascent by the humble And the sirens wailed as the empire crumbled With nothing to plunder, corporations drowned Waves clapped like thunder and stormed the gates with sound Forming a new nation now As the icecaps melted water levels rose We raised our hands together and made the levees hold Heels in the sand, we revealed the depths below The population of starfish exploded from the ocean Survival, we unified to focus on And the voices were many but we spoke as one As the tale was retold, we multiplied And swelled across the fault lines to halt the tide We let the altars die to keep our pulse alive And from the barren wastelands of naked trash We stitched together, a shelter from fallen nation's flags And chose to build a future from an ancient past The crowns of thorns was worn, we put the Tritons down We found new forms of anchors deep inside the ground The world is an island now lrc by Jermen
