Pallas

Pallas - Rise And Fall lyrics

Your rating:
Symbols of attainment once aspired
A quest for knowledge fuelled by love of peace
People never burned by fired of war

The people of the East
Grew tired of peace
Now mistrust and fear
Are new to us here

Storm clouds gather
Mistrust turns to hate
A confrontation none could forsee
Machines of peace melt down for tools of war
One thousand years of peace destroyed

The people of the West
Though war they detest
Had nowhere to run
So the killing began

Three score and four years
Battle raged on high
Once proud and mighty
Prepare now to die
Destroyed by corruption
Pretention and greed
Atlantean achievements
Dispersed as dry seeds
Blown by the winds of change

Long fell the shadows
Across their land now bare
In ruins lay the towers
That crowned an island fair
Laid low in death throes
A race once true and right
Their power now their ruin
Their downfall their might

Narrator:	Gathering together the treasures of
		their wisdom and culture
		The guardians constructed a vast computer
		Protected by an awesome and terrible device
		Shrouded in a silicate crystalline dome.

The Sentinel
The ultimate keeper of the Peace
Too late to save their own
Put there to guide a future race

Survivor:	By my own hand, and the hands of others,
		A nation on its knees
		No brothers, sisters, friends, lovers,
		No mountains, rivers, trees
		Forgive us for we know not what we have done

Narrator:	And storms raged over the barren wastelands
		of the once fertile plains of Atlantis
		And the sea crashed upon the shores
		And the land crumbled upon itself
		The vast dome, the only remaining structure
		on the dying continent, shuddered and sank
		slowly to the depths of the ocean...
