Born on the eve of a blue-yellow moon Days and nights spent looking for you A fool, a wretch, at best a buffoon The seas are alive with the memory of you
The sailors they talk of your beauty and grace But warn of your loves sweet deadly embrace I’ve won and I’ve lost at the gates of your feet So my father promised me he did on that day My quest for your shores would not fade away He said, you'll die a young man, and he promised I’d meet An Atlantis to live for, to match my conceit
So I beg and I borrow I scavenge and rave Before my own birth was I already your slave? So my head will rest on eternal tomorrow As the search stretches on I question, Atlantis, my sorrow?
Alone and at sea, yet still I rejoice After all of this time the manifest of your voice and I see it now It is just in view Atlantis my salvation I am coming to you
