    Flobots - Defend Atlantis


    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
    Discovered ourselves living on an island

    We flow like water 'cross the lost city

    Chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti
    In continents, trade off for payoff
    And high concepts then lost to K-Os

    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 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

    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 five thousand
    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 warrior's role?
    The ground shakes, you 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 to blame
    At the end of the reign, heed me

    The season passes Atlas, his keep's 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 wailed as the empire crumbled
    With nothing 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
    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 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
