Atlant (v.2)

Atlantes


Verse 1:
On southern nights, the scent of acacias flows,
Sweet bliss descends like whispers from the sky.
Time stands in stone, its wings now folded low,
Amidst the stage of arches, towers high.

Facade by facade, in marble grace they rise,
Sculpted in silence, frozen in their role.
And here, forever, under starlit skies,
The giants bear the burden of the soul.

Chorus:
Atlantes hold the heavens — never breaking,
The sphere of stars upon their stony hands.
They pray to gods, to sun, to seas awaking,
And pay their dues to tides and shifting sands.

No grief they know, no love, no rage, no fight,
No cry escapes the stone from which they’re made.
Yet in their eyes — the echo of long night,
And in that gaze — the truth the world betrayed.

Verse 2:
The caryatids have frozen in their stance,
Their beauty — sorrow carved in quiet stone.
They ask no praise, no glory, no romance,
Just stand and guard the world, and stand alone.

Before them rush the lives of saints and poor,
The crowds that never lift their eyes above.
While waves play sapphire tunes along the shore,
And murmur: “You’re just dreams — like those you love.”

Chorus:
Atlantes hold the heavens — never breaking,
The sphere of stars upon their stony hands.
They pray to gods, to sun, to seas awaking,
And pay their dues to tides and shifting sands.

No grief they know, no love, no rage, no fight,
No cry escapes the stone from which they’re made.
Yet in their eyes — the echo of long night,
And in that gaze — the truth the world betrayed.

Bridge:
Who among us isn’t an Atlant too?
Who doesn’t hold the sky above their head?
Who in the dark has never prayed: “Just… hold on through”?

We’re stone, we’re steel, we’re silence, we’re in pain —
But deep within, the ancient power stays:
The same strength that has held the world since time began.

Atlantes hold the heavens… still unshaken…
The stars on shoulders… never forsaken…
They pray to gods… to sun… to wind…
Their tribute paid… to sea… and light…

And in this hush, the world moves on…
O silent guards…
You are not alone…
