Lyrics:

That was as far as the tide came in.

I remember the starfish and the wales of the sirens then.

We replaced the trident,

Embraced Poseidon,

Discovered ourselves living on an island.

We flow like water across the lost city,

Chalk prophecies and wash off graffiti.

In continents,

Trade off for pay-off,

And high concepts,

Then lost like chaos.

Many tales,

that 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 the power to take it right back.

F***ing with the ice caps,

We got to push the tide back.

We can survive collapse,

if we don't get side-tracked.

Improvision lives 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 Cochabambaa,

we are the warriors that won't get conquered.

With the 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 teachings,

is that its existence answers man's essential questions.

Much like the feeding of the 5000,

even if the facts aren't accurate,

the story's magic is alive.

Of utmost importance to divert the impertinent.

Atlantis holds the answers to man's ills at their most pertinent.

Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer.

The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel.

Is that all you hold for?

A warrior's role.

The ground shakes to 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's to blame,

at the end of a reign,

HEED ME!

(heed me)

The season passes Atlas,

his keeps 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 wail as the empire crumbles.

With nothing to plunder,

corporations drowned.

Waves clap like thunder,

and stormed the gates with sound.

Forming a new nation now.

As the ice caps melted,

water levels rose.

We raised our hands together,

and made the levies 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 hold 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 nations' flags.

And chose to build the future from an ancient past.

The crown of thorns were worn,

we put the tridents down.

We found new forms of anchors,

deep inside the ground.

The world is an island now!

The world is an island now.
