The Sunken Paradise
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lava is floating
Smoke is blowing
Before it was a precious island
Now, not even ruins left
Drowned to the ground of the ocean
Never found again
Just in one night and one day
Our island swept away
We are sailing from Atlantis
Sunken paradise
Just in one night and one day
Our dreams were taken away
We are sailing from Atlantis
A soon-forgotten paradise
Our ships are heading towards a new land
Hot winds are playing with our sails
We lost our homes, our place of birth
We are lost souls searching for a novel world
Drowned to the ground of the ocean
Never found again
Just in one night and one day
Our island swept away
We are sailing from Atlantis
Sunken paradise
Just in one night and one day
Our dreams were taken away
We are sailing from Atlantis
A soon-forgotten paradise
We will face storm and wild
We provoked the gods, everything is lost
We move Heaven and Earth
A new time will come
One night and one day
In one night and one day
Just in one night and one day
Our island swept away
We are sailing from Atlantis
Sunken paradise
Just in one night and one day
Our dreams were taken away
We are sailing from Atlantis
A soon-forgotten paradise
The song "The Sunken Paradise" by Atrocity is a poetic representation of the lost city of Atlantis. The lyrics describe the natural disaster that caused this once beautiful island to sink into the ocean. The "heavy sea" and "red-burning water" indicate that the catastrophe was most likely caused by a volcanic eruption or earthquake. The lava and smoke described give the impression of a deadly and destructive event.
The song also speaks of the aftermath of the disaster, with "not even ruins left" indicating that there was no sign of the city ever existing. The song goes on to describe the survivors of this disaster, who are "lost souls searching for a novel world". They have lost everything they knew and loved, including their homes, but they are determined to find a new land to call home.
The overall message of the song is that even in the face of tragedy and destruction, there is hope for new beginnings. The survivors are willing to face any obstacle, even the anger of the gods, to find a new home and start a new life.
