lyrics

I am...I am yours.
Let nature run its course.

[Atlantis]
Prove your worth.
More than your voice should ever flourish.

Every beast I have slain has been in your name.
Why must we play this game?

[Atlantis]
Any animal can be fierce.
Show me your heart, face your fears.

But I am terrified one night you won't return,
after a day of the sun and its cold shoulders.

[Atlantis]
I will always remain in your sky.
You just have to find the light.

It's a beacon impossible to miss.
Through cloud, through ruin, through mist.

[Atlantis]
Search within yourself, you fool.
You will get nowhere being cruel.

I pine for flesh, and oh how lovely it shimmers
beneath your lunar embers.
Forgive me, it's just my nature.

[Atlantis]
To what end would you follow fang and claw?
Follow fang and claw!?

If it got me your adoration...
Well, you're the moon, use your imagination.

[Atlantis]
A feisty cadence,
I should've expected nothing less.
At least your howls aren't soulless.
