… Atlantis (lyrics) …

... insurmountable odds ...

Atlantis … familiar from myths and legends. A Utopian society, location unknown, that inexplicably ended.

In the beginning of this song (from the record “Bits”) I sing a duet with a synthesized entity “on its way out”.

Atlantis

enter code string
sequence counting
it’s already been ordered
this continuous border
fallout and the city goes on
integration
functions undone
we can limit our failure
with predictive behavior
cry out let the city go on
recursion memory
syntax dependency

it’s kind of pathological
a symphony proceeds a great fall
send the signal of emergency out
when the systems goes we’re going to
lie alone
is this something I should know?

we’re picking up a signal coming through
they’re saying it will all be over tonight
you can listen you can hide there in your room
never picking up the phone just to make it alright

no level defense will end this
they’re tearing at the walls just to make it inside
get out release the chemicals in the air
it’s better to control than to let them decide

You didn’t have to
You know you didn’t have to

We’re getting ready to face this day
Don’t look
Don’t make this difficult

it’s kind of pathological
a symphony proceeds a great fall
send the signal of emergency now
when the system’s gone we’re going to
lie alone
is this something I should know
