We tumble around the turbid sea
The waves oblivious to every plea
Trapped below them to swim free
Trapped below by royal decree
Troubled fish in troubled sea
But some of us were born to see
From the darkness, we rise up
To heaven, we build our steps
From crafted stones of old
Of long lost Atlantis...
