The Man
Atlantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enchanted, by those that came before
Spirits of the fallen, are distributed for greed
No man walks along the path we seek
Parasites of the elements that leech to feed
Sucking the essence of the life we breathe
The force of nature we hide inside, will always be right by our side
As elements and stars align, break these lies
The cities will crumble
Fires burn throughout the land
Rebuild from ashes
This is the curse of man
Beneath the waves
The ruins time forgot
Atlantis falls
The curse of man
The Curse of Man
Fallen dreams of those that would seek to repent
Unforgiven by the souls of gods
That is desecrated for the belief of lambs
Led to the oncoming slaughter
Blood will run like a river, through these sacred halls once more
Crushing blows, to those who stand will fall
A need for power still remains, an eternal strength that can't be gained
An iron fist on crimson skies, break these lies
The cities will crumble
Fires burn throughout the land
Rebuild from ashes
This is the curse of man
Beneath the waves
The ruins time forgot
Atlantis falls
The curse of man
The curse of man
As we stand before the three pillars
The wind, it whispers our name
As the sun and the moon give power
The awakening begins
Again
With three martyrs carved in stone
Fear and beauty etched below
The three tyrant's reign above
Yet we wash away the flood
A cleansing of the weak
A hidden path to find the peak
A twisted soul yet bound in chain, we wash, wash away the pain
The cities will crumble
The curse of man
Fires will burn again
The lyrics to Atlantis's song "The Man" depict a world consumed by greed, destruction, and the consequences of mankind's actions. The opening lines refer to ancient tombs and spirits of those who came before, suggesting a connection to history and the past. However, these spirits are now enslaved, used for selfish purposes and disconnected from the path of progress.
The song portrays humanity as parasites, sucking the life out of the world and leeching off nature. The hidden force of nature within us is described as always being by our side, suggesting that we have the power to correct our mistakes and break free from the lies that surround us. The chorus speaks of the inevitable downfall of cities and the burning fires that will ravage the land, symbolizing the consequences of our actions. Yet, there is also a glimmer of hope, as rebuilding from the ashes implies the potential for redemption and learning from our past mistakes.
The second verse delves deeper into the theme of destruction and decaying dreams. Those who seek redemption or forgiveness are unforgiven by the gods, suggesting a loss of faith and a desecration of spiritual beliefs. The imagery of blood running through sacred halls suggests a cycle of violence and death repeating itself. The need for power remains, but it is an insatiable desire that can never be fully satisfied. The sealing line of this verse urges listeners to break the lies that perpetuate this destructive cycle.
The final verse introduces the concept of three pillars, possibly symbolizing the elements or cosmic forces that govern the world. The wind whispers the name of those standing before these pillars, implying a cosmic calling or destiny. The sun and the moon represent power, and the awakening, or perhaps a transformation, begins. The lyrics mention three martyrs carved in stone, representing sacrifice and the intertwining of fear and beauty. The reign of tyrants is washed away, symbolizing a cleansing of the weak and the discovery of a hidden path to the peak. It suggests that breaking free from the chains of twisted souls and pain is possible, through self-reflection and growth.
In summary, "The Man" by Atlantis is a song that explores themes of greed, destruction, and the potential for redemption. It delves into the consequences of human actions, the power within each individual, and the possibility of breaking free from a cycle of destruction.
Line by Line Meaning
Tombs of worship, that cease hold slumbering souls
Ancient burial sites that hold the dormant spirits of the deceased
Enchanted, by those that came before
Fascinated by the legacy and teachings left by previous generations
Spirits of the fallen, are distributed for greed
The souls of the deceased are exploited for personal gain
No man walks along the path we seek
No one else follows the same journey or pursuit as us
Parasites of the elements that leech to feed
Those who selfishly exploit the natural resources to satisfy their own needs
Sucking the essence of the life we breathe
Draining the vital energy and vitality that sustains our existence
The force of nature we hide inside, will always be right by our side
The inherent power of nature resides within us, constantly supporting us
As elements and stars align, break these lies
When everything falls into place, uncover and challenge the falsehoods
The cities will crumble
Metropolises will eventually collapse
Fires burn throughout the land
Destruction and chaos reign in the world
Rebuild from ashes
Reconstruct society despite the devastation
This is the curse of man
It is the inherent nature of humanity to be plagued by such struggles
Beneath the waves
Submerged underwater
The ruins time forgot
Ancient remnants disregarded and lost with the passage of time
Atlantis falls
The legendary city of Atlantis collapses
Fallen dreams of those that would seek to repent
Abandoned aspirations of those who desire redemption
Unforgiven by the souls of gods
Rejected and not granted forgiveness by divine entities
That is desecrated for the belief of lambs
Defiled for the sake of the naïve believers
Led to the oncoming slaughter
Guided towards an imminent and ruthless massacre
Blood will run like a river, through these sacred halls once more
A massive amount of bloodshed and violence will occur in these holy spaces again
Crushing blows, to those who stand will fall
Those who resist will be defeated by powerful and devastating attacks
A need for power still remains, an eternal strength that can't be gained
The thirst for dominance persists, but true strength cannot be acquired
An iron fist on crimson skies, break these lies
A firm and oppressive rule over a deceitful world, challenge and dismantle the falsehoods
As we stand before the three pillars
In our current position facing these fundamental principles
The wind, it whispers our name
The gentle breeze carries our identities and essence
As the sun and the moon give power
Through the influence of celestial bodies, we gain strength
The awakening begins
The process of enlightenment and realization commences
With three martyrs carved in stone
Depicted through statues, three individuals who sacrificed themselves
Fear and beauty etched below
Both terror and allure permanently marked beneath the surface
The three tyrant's reign above
The oppressive rulers exert authority from their elevated positions
Yet we wash away the flood
Despite facing overwhelming challenges, we cleanse and overcome
A cleansing of the weak
Eradicating the vulnerable and feeble
A hidden path to find the peak
Discovering an obscured route to reach the pinnacle of success
A twisted soul yet bound in chain, we wash, wash away the pain
Although tormented and restricted, we strive to eliminate the suffering

Great memories as a child..Can't believe it only ran for this short time.❤️❤️

How to watch it now can you tell me.
Anyone who asks that isn't a fan.
We watched it as part of our past and it's still as good now as it was then and it always will be without fail or doubt guaranteed.
Remember this series was done before the magic of computers.
There's many others who like me are true fans of Atlantis since our past.
Not of the destruction that happened to it.
And it doesn't hurt to dream.
There those of us who do like to dream.
