The prophets say this place will sink beneath the waves someday

The entrails point to ashes but I don’t care if it all goes away

Each night the last sound I hear is your breathing next to me

And if the sun don’t come up tomorrow there’s no place I’d rather be

 

Everyone’s freaking out cutting the trees down & pushing rafts into the tide

There’s a waiting list for the altars As the smoke curls up to the sky

Let’s you and me go down to the beach tonight And have a picnic barbecue

If I’m gonna make a burnt offering Let it be pleasing unto you

 

The cities may crumble, the Sea may swallow the land

But you and me in Atlantis, we will make our stand

We may be tiny as the wave hits the shore / But together in Atlantis we are something more

 

We get to see it, the last day of this world

We get to see the legends come true

What a privilege, what an honor

To witness the last of existence with you

 

With nothing to do, the gods will get sleepy again

They’ll start to turn out the palace lights

We’ll have the whole place to ourselves

Golden instruments on shelves

Let’s see if we can wake them up tonight

 

The mountains they rumble the temples they tumble on down

Just hold my hand tight as we jump these new cracks in the ground

The end of all things doesn’t seem too much to endure

They say nothing’s forever 

But I look in your eyes and I’m not so sure 

 

The cities may crumble, the Sea may swallow the land

But if you’re with me in Atlantis, I will understand

We may be tiny as the wave hits the shore

But together in Atlantis we are something more

 

The cities may crumble, the Sea may swallow the land

But if you’re with me in Atlantis, I will understand

We may be tiny as the wave hits the shore / But together in Atlantis we are something more
