[part 1 - The Depending of Rescue]
I've waited so long for you
to take me to the place where light came through
all this time I thought you would save me
But together we were stuck in this dark sea
Myself so lost in this tearing tide
only to find, I was not alone inside
fighting the waves to get free
growing powers grew deep down in me
[part 2 - Becoming Atlas]
Im out into the sky beyond the stars
looking down at the land so far
lost souls still trapped behind
I came back for you, I have to find
Spend my life searching and saving
to stop my heart from this painful raging
help those stand on the land I have found
your still lost in the black, quiet is the sound
I see your eyes, so bright as the brightest night star
Drifting away from my hand, floating so far
Ive spent my life so long to bring you to shore
I cannot stop its what I'm existing for
[part 3 - The Distraction]
In search for you I have saved so much
millions have felt my graceful touch
they plead for me to guide them away
So many I lead to see a new day
Shining light over their homes
making them feel the warmth in their souls
Starting a future that they can live in
But with all my power, I cannot find where you've been
bound by duties you slip away from me
away from view, and deeper into the sea
The older I grow the more of you I miss
but all these feelings I am forced to dismiss
[Part 4 - Atlas Relinquished]
Strength has raged within in my blood
my veins are dried while my emotions flood
away from my heart into the night
tired by the constant shine of light
Broken labored hands are laid to rest
after long years of might's test
exasperation falls over my will
want nothing more to forever be still
I can no longer help to build
I lay slowly upon the field
body and soul unable to lift
watching the world, still, it sits
