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 sidetrack

The End Of Our island歌词

[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
