[00:14.23]that was as far as the tide came in
[00:16.73]i remember the starfish and the wails of the sirens then
[00:21.58]we replaced the tridents, embraced poseidon
[00:25.34]discovered ourselves living on an island
[00:29.25]we flow like water ’cross the lost city
[00:31.04]chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti
[00:32.72]in continents, trade off for payoff
[00:34.43]and high concepts then lost to k-os
[00:36.43]many tales radiate from one nexus
[00:37.98]defending a dream of a new directive
[00:39.72]a call from the deep sums up a notion
[00:41.49]the day when the people bum-rushed the ocean
[00:43.51]from the beaches they
[00:44.97]ran to meet the day after
[00:46.89]underneath, the waves
[00:48.29]won’t repeat the same chapter
[00:50.46]knew what they had to do
[00:54.49]that which creates life
[00:59.04]has power to take it right back
[01:00.85]fucking with the icecaps
[01:02.90]we gotta push the tide back
[01:04.74]we can survive, collapse if we don’t get sidetracked
[01:08.56]
[01:08.84]if we visualize living underwater hidden by prisms
[01:11.66]countries fall but people transition
[01:14.57]if one for all, we live in that vision
[01:15.35]hundred dollar bill origami
[01:17.21]balloon inflation, new world economy
[01:18.87]
[01:19.09]we float on tsunami to global warming
[01:20.90]we need structures to control what’s coming
[01:22.66]corporate monopolies obsolete
[01:24.55]the philosophy leaves us lost at sea
[01:26.01]
[01:26.65]but from marwar to cochabamba
[01:28.17]we are the warriors that won’t get conquered
[01:30.48]
[01:31.59]’cause rising tides drown all villages
[01:33.35]divided fighters succumb to pillage
[01:35.37]rescuers whatever your latitude
[01:37.13]it’s time to pioneer a new world attitude
[01:37.86]put local cycles first we’re global
[01:38.86]islanders with nothing left to plunder
[01:46.91]
[01:51.89]from the beaches they
[01:52.86]ran to meet the day after
[01:54.92]underneath, the waves
[01:56.26]won’t repeat the same chapter
[01:58.45]knew what they had to do
[02:04.19]
[02:05.85]for centuries
[02:06.71]human beings have pursued the meaning of atlantis
[02:09.42]central to their teaching is that it’s existence
[02:12.11]answers man’s essential questions
[02:14.41]much like the feeding of the five thousand
[02:16.53]even if the facts aren’t accurate, the story’s magic is alive
[02:20.23]of utmost importance to convert the impertinent
[02:23.52]atlantis holds the answer to man’s ills at their most pertinent
[02:27.12]aspersions easily dispersed when i certainly answer
[02:30.66]the most diverse aversions when i firstly channel
[02:34.38]is this all that you hold for a warrior’s role?
[02:37.57]the ground shakes, you claim my country, not my soul
[02:40.96]i fought, i toiled for the lost in the waves
[02:44.54]and i will not tire, i’ll die no slave
[02:48.50]if the sea’s my grave
[02:50.07]i sleep with my city, my people, my oath, my shame, my city
[02:55.62]is that i cannot save my city from the waves that claim you
[02:59.89]and curse the gods who can’t explain who to blame
[03:03.62]at the end of the reign, heed me
[03:06.55]the season passes atlas, his keep’s in the sediment
[03:10.08]failing monumentally and leaving no monuments to see
[03:14.43]only sea to shining sea
[03:19.58]
[03:25.24]and survival hinged on the ascent by the humble
[03:36.06]and the sirens wailed as the empire crumbled
[03:40.23]with nothing to plunder, corporations drowned
[03:42.90]waves clapped like thunder and stormed the gates with sound
[03:46.20]forming a new nation now
[03:48.85]
[03:50.30]as the icecaps melted water levels rose
[03:53.27]we raised our hands together and made the levees hold
[03:56.85]heels in the sand, we revealed the depths below
[04:01.19]the population of starfish exploded from the ocean
[04:04.75]survival, we unified to focus on
[04:08.06]and the voices were many but we spoke as one
[04:11.09]
[04:11.76]as the tale was retold, we multiplied
[04:14.77]and swelled across the fault lines to halt the tide
[04:18.68]we let the altars die to keep our pulse alive
[04:22.29]
[04:22.55]and from the barren wastelands of naked trash
[04:25.64]we stitched together, a shelter from fallen nation’s flags
[04:29.11]and chose to build a future from an ancient past
[04:32.82]
[04:33.03]the crowns of thorns was worn, we put the tritons down
[04:36.35]we found new forms of anchors deep inside the ground
[04:40.01]the world is an island now
