Pallas - Rise And Fall слова песни
Domes of crystal, spires of light reach outSymbols of attainment once aspiredA quest for knowledge fuelled by love of peacePeople never burned by fired of warThe people of the EastGrew tired of peaceNow mistrust and fearAre new to us hereStorm clouds gatherMistrust turns to hateA confrontation none could forseeMachines of peace melt down for tools of warOne thousand years of peace destroyedThe people of the WestThough war they detestHad nowhere to runSo the killing beganThree score and four yearsBattle raged on highOnce proud and mightyPrepare now to dieDestroyed by corruptionPretention and greedAtlantean achievementsDispersed as dry seedsBlown by the winds of changeLong fell the shadowsAcross their land now bareIn ruins lay the towersThat crowned an island fairLaid low in death throesA race once true and rightTheir power now their ruinTheir downfall their mightNarrator:Gathering together the treasures oftheir wisdom and cultureThe guardians constructed a vast computerProtected by an awesome and terrible deviceShrouded in a silicate crystalline dome.The SentinelThe ultimate keeper of the PeaceToo late to save their ownPut there to guide a future raceSurvivor:By my own hand, and the hands of others,A nation on its kneesNo brothers, sisters, friends, lovers,No mountains, rivers, treesForgive us for we know not what we have doneNarrator:And storms raged over the barren wastelandsof the once fertile plains of AtlantisAnd the sea crashed upon the shoresAnd the land crumbled upon itselfThe vast dome, the only remaining structureon the dying continent, shuddered and sankslowly to the depths of the ocean...====================================================================
