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 

And discovered ourselves living on an island 



We flow like water across the lost city 

Chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti 

In continents 

Trade off for payoff 

And high concepts then lost to chaos 

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've gotta push the tide back 

We can survive collapse if we don't get sidetracked 

If we visualize 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 Cochabamba 

We are the warriors that won't get conquered 

'Cause 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 



(Alert the law alternate nations train in the streets 

Act to limit all non-transparent industries so 

We must defend Atlantis 

Anchor the land and never transform into seas 

Assets to liquify all netted toxic indices so 

We must defend Atlantis) 



For centuries human beings have pursued the meaning of Atlantis 

Central to their teaching is that it's existence answers man's essential questions 

Much like the feeding of the 5,000 

Even if the facts aren't accurate the story's magic is alive 



Of utmost importance to convert the impertinent 

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

Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer 

The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel _ 



Is this all that you hold 

For a warriors role 

The ground shakes 

You claim my country not my soul 

I fought I toiled, for the lost in the waves I will not tire 

I die no slave 

If the seas my grave 

I sleep with my city 

My people my oath 

My shame my city is that 

I cannot save my city 

From waves that claim you 

And curse the gods who can't explain 

Who to blame 

At the end of the reign 

Heed me 

The season passes Atlas 

His keeps in the sediment 

Failing monumentally 

And leaving no monuments to see 

Only sea to shining sea 



(Assess the loss as new tidal inundations surface 

Amidst the legions are now thousands in starfish 

We must defend Atlantis 

As the land acquiesces no tears in sympathy 

Address the legacy and never treat it separately 

Access telepathy last as neverending transcendency) 



And survival hinged on an attempt by the humble 

And the sirens wailed as the empire crumbled 



With nothing left to plunder corporations drowned 

Waves clapped like thunder and stormed the gates with sound 

Forming a new nation now 



As the icecaps melted water levels rose 

We raised our hands together and made the levees hold 

Heals 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 faultlines to halt 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 nation's flags 

And chose to build a future from an ancient past 



The crowns of thorns was worn we put the tritons down 

We found new forms of anchors deep inside the ground 



The world is an island now
