Chimera

Bleeding Heart

An ancient longing, rising from the ocean's depth
Where all our fears and all our hopes are kept
This feels like Atlantis, the climax of a time
A fleeting wonder, our culture’s fragile climb

We trade in wisdom, and we speak in light
But our own shadows turn the day to night
A promised land, right here beneath our feet
But still our souls feel hollow and incomplete

We are Atlantis. The clashing of the spires.
We are Atlantis. Burning in our fears and our desires.
We are Atlantis. A final, fleeting breath.
We are Atlantis. Celebrating our own death.

The promises of heavens, cold and bare
This feels like Atlantis, an orphan’s whispered prayer
Our shared possession, this fragile, wounded planet
We search for warmth in a world of cold granite

Our highest art, our most profound design
A bitter farewell on this final line
We’re all connected, yet we stand alone
On a global island we’ve come to disown

We are Atlantis. The clashing of the spires.
We are Atlantis. Burning in our fears and our desires.
We are Atlantis. A final, fleeting breath.
We are Atlantis. Celebrating our own death.

And an angel waits, a hand that longs to guide
The lonely spirits with nowhere left to hide
A distant shout, a sound you can’t ignore
A call that’s been forgotten on the shore
The silent cries of a world that lost its way
Lost on the tide, to a final, tragic day

We are Atlantis. A planet on the brink.
We are Atlantis. Let us fight, instead of sink.
We are Atlantis. The effort is worthwhile.
We are Atlantis. The final, sacred trial.

We stand so high, but we’re a world away
From all the beauty that we throw away

We are Atlantis. We choose the path of grace.
We are Atlantis. And claim our rightful place.
We are Atlantis. We won't just stand and watch.
We are Atlantis. We'll stay alive on our last watch.

We are Atlantis.

Lyrics: Leave me alone

Don't play with my heart
Don't play with my soul
Don't play with my mind
Don't play with my nerves
Just leave me alone
Don't play with me
'cause I'm not a toy
Yes, I'm not a toy 
I'm just a boy
Who wants to enjoy
The life 
Alone
I'm sick and tired
Of human race
Of empty faces 
Of friends and enemies 
Alone I sit 
I sit and cry
Alone I tried 
I tried and tired
Then I reached for the pen
And I started to write 
About a lonesome man 
And I felt the pain in my brain
I've destroyed their love to me 
Now I'm sitting here alone
And I have no one to talk to
And I have no one to trust
Where did I run so fast
Now I can see at last 
All the love, all the colors and the stars
Don't play with my heart
Don't play with my soul
Don't play with my mind
Don't play with my nerves
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone…
