| 1 | Even if one were to escape |
| 2 | The mountains themselves conspired against us |
| 3 | So it was they set us out to build their first city |
| 4 | But not with tools or any kind of technology |
| 5 | But with our bare limbs |
| 6 | Day after day they broke our backs |
| 7 | Digging their trenches and cutting their stones |
| 8 | Until the whole hard unyielding plain was irrigated and fertile |
| 9 | As far as the eye could see. |
| 10 | A legacy in Earth that remains testament to our lives to this day. |
| 11 | Of all our kind it was EL to whom they showed most cruelty. |
| 12 | Crippled by eternal pain; |
| 13 | Humbled by horrendous deformity. |
| 14 | Rib had become wings, whick the AN cruelly broke. |
| 15 | Till EL was no more. |
| 16 | For order they sought out another to call EL. |
| 17 | Not strong, but the weakest of our kind. |
| 18 | So that they turned ourselves against us. |
| 19 | Ruled by the dog of a tyrant. |
| 20 | Not content on breaking our backs |
| 21 | Now it was the new EL that forced us into the mines. |
| 22 | To gather gold, silver and precious stones to adorn their palaces |
| 23 | Upon the island of the AN within the great lake TI surrounded by the fortress mountains of ATLA. |
| 24 | So was born a city gleaming in gold, metals and jewels - the city of ATLA-AN-TI you know as Atlantis. |
