Atlantis Songtext
von Shank Painters

Can you hear my call?
I am here below
Where the moon won′t shine
Where the winds won't blow

On the white sea floor
Where we′ve lived so long
As my city sleeps
I will sing this song

Out walking the steps of Atlantis
Watching the waves sweep the sky
And the whole world rings like thunder
As the whales call, passing us by

I'm climbing the towers of Atlantis
Fish eddy-like gleam like stars
Or so I can almost remember
It's been so long since the surface was ours


As our island sank
We built walls of glass
To a mighty dome
Which we sealed at last

And since ancient days
We have lived apart
Barely aged or changed
Save for in the heart

Out walking the steps of Atlantis
Watching the waves sweep the sky
And the whole world rings like thunder
As the whales call, passing us by

I′m climbing the towers of Atlantis
Fish eddy-like gleam like stars
Or so I can almost remember
It′s been so long since the surface was ours

We lead quiet lives
Shared with friends and trees
With nowhere to spread
We've discovered peace


We have spied your ships
Will they find us too?
What would life be like
With us joined anew?

Out walking the steps of Atlantis
Watching the waves sweep the sky
And the whole world rings like thunder
As the whales call, passing us by

I′m climbing the towers of Atlantis
Fish eddy-like gleam like stars
Or so I can almost remember
It's been so long since the surface was ours
