Lyrics
Drowned Civilization
(Music by Wilame & Walter/Words by André)
Part I: The Messenger of the Gods
Flying softly with my hat and sandals
I stalked down across the Earth
What a majestics sign I saw
In a place where a dream was real and raw
Running fast with a mission to solve
I stalked across these lands
What a majestic civilization I saw
in a place where an ideal was the here and (the) now
Coming down from high Olympus
I could not believe in what I saw
Carefree I ran around with bliss
seeing mountains, hills, fields and shores
I danced with nude nymphs, satyrs and sprites
over the spring paradisiacal skies
I saw also dragons and strange ships in flight
blending with beauty real and fantasy
Dolphins were jumping in the sea
guarding the entrance of three land rings
The folks, smiling to me at city streets,
threw roses and flowers into me
They took me to a marble shrine in hill
to honor my caducei and wings
I could not know how could they be blamed
for being alive and spreading such charm
Under a golden image of a brilliant man,
Orpheu was playing his lire
How many endless surprises, even to me,
the jester messenger of gods...
Part II: Through the Entrains of Gaia
I've crossed before the sulfur realms of Hera
and Morpheus made me dream within his mist
but nothing before made me tremble
or to ask or ponder the wills of my king
Now I have to find fast the Giants,
and speak to them about his hazardous rage
I descent in the entrains of the hill
seeing the lava to boil into its labyrinths
Gaia feared about my presence
I could see anxiety at her motherly breast
They were there, with glad and pride
enjoying the fruits of their plans
They laughed about my semblance
and said that Zeus would soon die,
but what they couldn't perceive
was that he already had started his revenge
They had discovered a great energy
with the power to create or dissipate anything,
but what the Titans didn't know
was that it was an entrapping gift...
Later the demigods began to fight for it
and their people burnt their own homes, lunacy
Mars spread discord across the land
as Titans and men killed themselves,
and they couldn't even hear the Olympus to laugh...
Cries urged from the depths of Gaia.
- A huge beast was prepared for the war
Part III: The End of Atlantis
Against Zeus, Typhon marched
and nothing Gaia could do
as the battle excited her strengths
rising fire, storms and earthquakes,
while from the ocean came giant waves
Then the furious king invoked a star
that menaced to fall and suffocate the Earth
The land was decayed and deceased,
all its rich adorns and monuments
destroyed by the hands that once have risen it
The survivors, still confused by greed of power
stopped to struggle and watched
They all said that the world was ending
but none really suspected why
The city was drowned in one night,
all their knowledge about that fabulous energy
lost like if all their efforts were in vain
Save faces of fear of a civilization
that once just knew what was to smile
into the depths of a hot-waters sea
only the cold silent was what remained
Back from the east where I was hidden
I traveled to see that tragic land,
what devastate signs I saw
in a place where Titans once lived... Atlantis
I left a tear, the end of a bliss
Oh, how cruel was the ruling of my king!
No merciless sins they had done
mating with mortals or eating the golden fruits,
Not spreading the ideal of freedom
to create a civilization to dare the skies
could reach the atrocity made by my breed
In a place once rose by no Gods
but Titans and men
I saw a name to drown aloud... Atlantis
