Bal-sagoth — And Atlantis Falls... lyrics

And lo, I witnessed the vast seas rise forth like a great ravenous beast,
A devouring maelstrom of cataclysmic fury; and the gleaming spires
And citadels of proud, ancient Atlantis were consumed, to gleam no more...
Save in the dreams of sorcerers and warriors... aye, and poets and kings.
