" Atlantis

People would whisper about us
And our fall from grace
As our world fell to ruin
And our worst fears were realized,
We’d be submerged and forgotten
The stuff of speculation.
Legend at best,
We were a lost city,
Singing our siren ballads
Of heartbreak and woe
From the depths below,
We were here!
We were here.
We were here… "
