Franco Battiato
atlantide
Select language to translate this lyric
And the gods cast lots
They divided the world between them
Zeus the land of the underworld
Poseidon the submerged continent
Appeared, Atlantis
Immense, islands, mountains, canals
Similar to celestial orbits
His king Atlas
He knew the doctrine of the sphere, the stars
Geometry, the Kabbalah and alchemy
The temple above br/>Six winged horses, the statues of gold, ivory and orichalcum
For generations, the law dwelt in the divine princes
The kings, never intoxicated with immense riches
And the human character crept in and they couldn't even bear happiness
Not even happiness
In a day and a night
Destruction occurred< br/>He returned to the water
He disappeared Atlantis
