Atlantis

Crumbling walls of a collapsing paradise
A darkened decay of a dying civilisation
It once stood proud but now it has gone
Swallowed up by the unfeeling waves

This city once seen as a golden miracle
Living, at first, in harmony and peace
The spark of jealousy snatched it away
Warlords came, bringing only destuction

No one could fight, or know how to defend
The city fell into the seas' cold embrace
All sank down into the fantoms of oblivion
This was the beginning of the fall of Atlantis

Centuries pass by, sailors hear Mermaids sing
Beautiful voices coming from deepest depths
Far below some have seen those city lights
They search but Atlantis is never to be found
