celebrating lost gods of Atlantis, 

sacred temples in a land of mist.

He had the right like you and me to live his life peacefully,

Dm

C               E
enjoying his loving and caring family,

  just being happy.

F
But as so many times in history

 dreadful events unfolded tragically,

Dm G                                                      F       
conceived by power eager dream mongers,  throwing the life of common people in tatters
   
Verse 2  

Am                                      

 F
Pushed by political and religious fanatics,  displaying to the world their odd antics,

Dm

wars are fought on false pretenses condemning us with death sentences.

Am

We’ll have to stand up and be accounted for and say no to all forms of oppression and war

for the world to be relieved of its pain. Or will the veil of darkness forever remain?
