Defend Atlantis - Flobots[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From the beaches they[00:00:43]

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

Underneath the waves[00:00:47]

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

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

That which creates life[00:00:54]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hundred dollar bill Origami[00:01:16]

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

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

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

Corporate monopolies obsolete[00:01:22]

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

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

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

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

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

Rescuers whatever your latitude[00:01:33]

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

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

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

From the beaches they[00:01:40]

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

Underneath the waves[00:01:54]

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

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

For centuries[00:02:03]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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