lyrics

Atlantis
Bad news, they‘ve taken a noose, and tightened it around your neck
Sent a prayer to the moon, but like a child‘s baloon,
It went drifting away in the wind
And now the sun has declined to continue to shine,
She's taking her rays back to space
And I'm afraid that it's true, the day‘s been subdued,
It‘s forever night here my friend
But we're still believing, that it's ours to steal,
And we climb every ladder
Like it leads to the sky, oh my my, and then this stormy weather
Will make way for the sun
I still believe in the grass, in the breeze,
I still believe that the dawn
Will awake with the mice, and over virtue and vice,
Spread out her wings like a song
We'll fly to the stars, we'll populate Mars, we'll break into Heaven
I swear
Where we'll oust the old king, and each person and thing,
We'll be freed from their shackles and chains
And Atlantis will raise, from it's watery grave,
And the mountains will sing out in praise
And the sun will be sworn to stay forever warm,
And turn black night back into day
We're still believing, that it's ours to steal,
And we climb every ladder
Like it leads to the sky, Oh my my, and then this stormy weather
Will make way for the sun
Well the sand is too quick, to stand a top of it,
I believe that I'm sinking again
But I wrote you this letter, so that if it gets better,
You know where to find me my friend
Yes you'll know where to throw me a hand
Yes you'll lend me the warmth, the warmth of your hand…
