lyrics

Atlas shrugs and coordinates crumble...
While Atlas shrugs, the world's devoured...

Amongst the glowing moonlight, each stroke reverses the tides!
Godspeed, protector titan!
Does Phoebe laugh with each sinful stride?

Searing pain produced by flames of inhuman temperatures:
At Fahrenheit 451, flesh burns much quicker than paper...

Protector! Protector!
Adjust this map of fatal error...
Protector! Protect her!
Lift us on your mighty shoulders.

Atlas shrugs, and we embrace corrosion,
While Atlas shrugs, fear breeds erosion...

Dividing up the waves; push and pull the tides at will!
For (here) destruction, devastation, and fulfillment are all bitter pills...

Searing pain produced by flames of inhuman temperatures:
At Fahrenheit 451, flesh burns much quicker than paper...

Protector! Protector!
Adjust this map of fatal error...
Protector! Protect her!
Lift us on your mighty shoulders.

(Solo: Carlino)
(Solo: Almeida)

Solemn, freedom's spirit dies quick...ly inside when trust is broken and great promises become greater lies...

Protector! Protector!
Adjust this map of fatal error...
Protector! Protect her!
Lift us on your mighty shoulders. (2x)

(Solo: Oliver)
