Try to Please the Gods
The cavern under the sea, filled with light and sound, is merely hollow and empty, better to be above ground
This is not the place
Where lovers should converse
This is only the place
To recite a scripted verse
This is not the place
Where hearts can flow free
This is only the place
To entertain nightly
This is not the place
To give me your true word
This is only the place
Where the singers are heard
This is not the place
Where I can be myself
This is only the place
To announce the Tri-self
This is not the place
To let loose and have fun
This is only the place
Where beauty is undone
Atlantis is not the place
Of love or worlds of lore
It is only the place
Of performance on a distant shore
