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
