A City Once Divine Songtext
von Terra Atlantica

As I gaze at the sea
i feel it′s a part of me
the spirits of the oceans arise
and carry me away
to distant memories
Will they return?

I've seen it in my dreams
so far away it seems

Atlantica, your shores
in the vivid ocean roars
A city once divine
and hearts of endless pride
cursed to decay

High on towers of light
noone saw the fatal coming of the tide
Oh they drowned one day
for the golden God that made them fall astray


Far beyond our eyes
under clear blue skies
lies the realm between the seas
I have seen it all
seen the city fall
Still my quest is not at end

Now there′s no more time to wait
I have to find my way back home
and though i never felt so alive
a vision of my grave
right beneath the waves
burns deep inside

Open your doors
lead me to your halls
rejoin the glory
and days of the past
open your doors
lead me to your halls
when we're going down
face the rage of the Gods
(Power and wisdom were once in our hands
till avarice inflamed the rage of the Gods)


High on towers of light
noone saw the fatal coming of the tide
oh they drowned one day
for the golden God that made them fall astray

Far beyond our eyes
under clear blue skies
lies the realm between the seas
I have seen it all
seen the city fall
Still my quest is not at end
