Upwelling, Pt. 2

Here's a testimony from that age When men walked under a curse The hands of the doomsday clock Would not be turned back or frozen The fiction that we loved was debunked And thrown overboard Indulging in permissiveness We'd grown freedom, violence in the same soil The four elements (bringers of war) Lauched the prophetic charge Repayment for transgression And Atlantis rose up from the dead To overwhelm all other lands The truth must out This delusionnal need for a pattern Sowed the seed of our dependence (Of our craving) In a field where human spirit could breed nothing But the ferocious, poisonous bloom Avidity Then, Drunk with the wines of future harvests Betraying the present Then, they fell from grace "Mankind conquered the highest mountains And remained seated in the mist of learning All while wisdom lay, darkened by clouds, on the ground" This tale is yours The four elements (bringers of war) Lauched the prophetic charge Repayment for transgression And Atlantis rose up from the dead To overwhelm all other lands
