dark atlantis

this is the place where stories come to fail
you see the monster light beneath the sun
there is a shark for every single sail

the older kingdom fell once to the pale
who knew the magic of the sword and gun
this is the place where stories come to fail

another portrait hung on the old nail
the same old play performed for the same run
there is a shark for every single sail

each liar turns a zephyr to a gale
the message will be old before we're done
this is the place where stories come to fail

a dark atlantis on a smaller scale
some sort of prize that others might have won
there is a shark for every single sail

the winner always seems to be the snail
and not the child that just seeks to have fun
this is the place where stories come to fail
there is a shark for every single sail
