《Defend Atlantis》歌词

[00:00:00] Defend Atlantis - Flobots

[00:00:02] That was as far as the tide came in

[00:00:16] I remember the starfish and the wails of the sirens then

[00:00:20] We replaced the tridents embraced Poseidon

[00:00:24] Discovered ourselves living on an island

[00:00:30] We flow like water 'cross the lost city

[00:00:32] Chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti

[00:00:33] In continents trade off for payoff

[00:00:35] And high concepts then lost to K-Os

[00:00:37] Many tales radiate from one nexus

[00:00:38] Defending a dream of a new directive

[00:00:40] A call from the deep sums up a notion

[00:00:42] The day when the people bum-rushed the ocean

[00:00:43] From the beaches they

[00:00:45] Ran to meet the day after

[00:00:47] Underneath the waves

[00:00:48] Won't repeat the same chapter

[00:00:49] Knew what they had to do

[00:00:54] That which creates life

[00:00:59] Has power to take it right back

[00:01:01] F**king with the icecaps

[00:01:02] We gotta push the tide back

[00:01:04] We can survive collapse if we don't get sidetracked

[00:01:08] If we visualize living underwater hidden by prisms

[00:01:11] Countries fall but people transition

[00:01:13] If one for all we live in that vision

[00:01:16] Hundred dollar bill Origami

[00:01:17] Balloon inflation new world economy

[00:01:18] We float on tsunami to global warming

[00:01:20] We need structures to control what's coming

[00:01:22] Corporate monopolies obsolete

[00:01:23] The philosophy leaves us lost at sea

[00:01:26] But from Marwar to Cochabamba

[00:01:28] We are the warriors that won't get conquered

[00:01:30] 'Cause rising tides drown all villages

[00:01:31] Divided fighters succumb to pillage

[00:01:33] Rescuers whatever your latitude

[00:01:35] It's time to pioneer a new world attitude

[00:01:37] Put local cycles first we're Global

[00:01:38] Islanders with nothing left to plunder

[00:01:40] From the beaches they

[00:01:52] Ran to meet the day after

[00:01:54] Underneath the waves

[00:01:55] Won't repeat the same chapter

[00:01:58] Knew what they had to do

[00:02:03] For centuries

[00:02:06] Human beings have pursued the meaning of Atlantis

[00:02:09] Central to their teaching is that it's existence

[00:02:11] Answers man's essential questions

[00:02:13] Much like the feeding of the five thousand

[00:02:16] Even if the facts aren't accurate the story's magic is alive

[00:02:19] Of utmost importance to convert the impertinent

[00:02:22] Atlantis holds the answer to man's ills at their most pertinent

[00:02:26] Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer

[00:02:29] The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel

[00:02:33] Is this all that you hold for a warrior's role

[00:02:37] The ground shakes you claim my country not my soul

[00:02:40] I fought I toiled for the lost in the waves

[00:02:43] And I will not tire I'll die no slave

[00:02:48] If the sea's my grave

[00:02:49] I sleep with my city my people my oath my shame my city

[00:02:55] Is that I cannot save my city from the waves that claim you

[00:02:58] And curse the Gods who can't explain who to blame

[00:03:02] At the end of the reign heed me

[00:03:06] The season passes Atlas his keep's in the sediment

[00:03:09] Failing monumentally and leaving no monuments to see

[00:03:13] Only sea to shining sea

[00:03:17] And survival hinged on the ascent by the humble

[00:03:28] And the sirens wailed as the empire crumbled

[00:03:39] With nothing to plunder corporations drowned

[00:03:41] Waves clapped like thunder and stormed the gates with sound

[00:03:45] Forming a new nation now

[00:03:47] As the icecaps melted water levels rose

[00:03:53] We raised our hands together and made the levees hold

[00:03:56] Heels in the sand we revealed the depths below

[00:03:59] The population of starfish exploded from the ocean

[00:04:03] Survival we unified to focus on

[00:04:07] And the voices were many but we spoke as one

[00:04:12] As the tale was retold we multiplied

[00:04:13] And swelled across the fault lines to halt the tide

[00:04:17] We let the altars die to keep our pulse alive

[00:04:22] And from the barren wastelands of naked trash

[00:04:24] We stitched together a shelter from fallen nation's flags

[00:04:29] And chose to build a future from an ancient past

[00:04:32] The crowns of thorns was worn we put the Tritons down

[00:04:35] We found new forms of anchors deep inside the ground

[00:04:39] The world is an island now
