Paradigm Blue - Atlantis Lyrics
Tides rushing inCurling up on the isle, only child of the blue expanseMother takes her children by the handAs the sea starts a swirling danceHand to your headAs you run along, the sky falling around youNew ocean bed embracesLife and death with a sundering soundIf the streets are soaked, you certainly can't deny itBut if you want toThe minute you choke, you're certainly welcome to try itYou're in the NileNo matter how fast you think you're runningYou can't stop the end of the world from comingSwim to that underwater ridgeMind your business while you're hereWater under the bridgeYour beach becomes your backyardYour throne has disappearedDid you know ten days agoThat the storm would come, or were you just reflectingOn a legacy of life that must come and go?Is this not what you're expecting?Ten long lifetimes razed to rubbleMother Nature smirks insideIt won't take that kind of natural troubleTo wash away your precious prideIf the streets are soaked, you certainly can't deny itBut if you want toThe minute you choke, you're certainly welcome to try itYou're in the NileWe can find ourselvesIf we can find the timeWe can find each otherIf the looking doesn't age usWe can run a maddening raceOr sit still with the sagesLose our guile to save faceOr stand trial for our crimesIf the streets are soaked, you certainly can't deny itBut if you want toThe minute you choke, you're certainly welcome to try itYou're in the NileNo matter how fast you think you're runningYou can't stop the end of the world from comingSwim to that underwater ridgeMind your business while you're hereWater under the bridgeYour beach becomes your backyardYour throne has disappearedDisappeared...
