Atlas

[Verse 1: Bodi] I love life to death, and til the day that I rest Every breath in my chest will give my best to the blessed Souls, who don't know what they've got til it's ghost Yesterday's smoke's broke by tomorrow's hope They stand tall in the shadows of giants Til the moment in the sun when they're touched by Midas Walk no fear in the den of the lions If I can't live like I'm dyin I'll die tryin' From my perch under Earth, I've seen the death and the birth Angels falling to dirt when they don't know their true worth Burst courage and faith when best turns to worst Kingdoms fall from heaven when their kings are placed first Beginning to the end - cradle to the hearse Forced to watch it all - I guess that's my curse If a tree falls lone, then there isn't a sound If Atlas falls, there isn't a ground [Chorus: Bodi] And I can't give up and can't see them fall And we evolved from dust into this free for all Can't give up and can't see them fall And we evolved from dust into this free for all (2x) [Verse 2: Bodi] All I ever wanted was to live in the moment A single second on this sphere without the worry to hold it No more promises broken, no more innocence stolen No more floatin on hope when the present is golden I can't turn my back when I see the palms open I'll let this break me down before I hear more psalms spoken Leave destiny to everyone for findin' If I can't live like I'm dyin I'll die tryin' When the chisel and stone found the gristle and bone Humanity's tapestry once sewn was blown Alone and on their own carving borders out of home In the face of mercy shown barking orders from the throne I tried to hide the diatribe that only divides And shine a light on broken battle cries to visualize the blind Opened Pandora's Box, there’s nothing inside I'm lost and I know she's got something to hide [Chorus] [Verse 3: Bodi] It's the beauty in the struggle that validates the trouble From the photographs of Hubble back to Babylon's rubble The strongest muscle in the body is the heart And that's the only thing that makes it not fall apart When the march to compassion overtakes passive action Dreams manifest and cease to be imagined The journey never ends and the long road's windin' If I can't live like I'm dyin I'll die tryin' When the stars turn to dust and the sky falls down And the last stand proud in a mushroom cloud The past voices settle in eternity's echoes The ground cover's smothered with the finals rose petals I'll be right here in the same place Cause at the end of the day we're all saved by grace When history's erased, my memory of love And human compassion is the reason I won't shrug [Chorus]
