---------------------------------

Rising up the crystal dome
of life before the final war
Breaks the waves of sea and air
to save us from a deadly fall

Coming up from far below
Ocean floors unknown to man
The Sentinel waited silently
Until the time was right again

Civilization's seeds
Sown so very long ago
Almost ripened to their peak
But how were they supposed to know

Nurtured very carefully
Guided on their preset path
The Sentinel waited silently
But his experiment went wrong

The eyes of the world looked in fright
To the seas ablaze with light
And it moved ever closer
Round the World

Machines they all stood still
Fingers reaching out as one
Poised in fear obliged to kill
Continents united
Against the common foe
The fist and last occasion
But the fools would never know
Alpha and omega
The first-born and the last
The vast dome of Atlantis
Cracked and shuddered beneath the blast

Sinking back to whence they came
The young could not realize
The original plan would now succeed
Due to their selfless sacrifice
The sea boiled again
As Atlantis descends to its place far below
Now the World has joined hands as one
All the World now
Join their hands as one

Magnificent Pallas.... brilliant.... they never reached these heights again, although their recent 'comeback' stuff is well worth checking out. The Sentinel is an absolute classic though..

pallas are just class!

Great music! Btw, the speaking voice reminds me of that one in War by Sieges Even.

SG Atlantis ... que c'est bon, que c'est bon ...

[unaperrson]

Stunning vocal performance, completely operatic and grandiose.

[unaperrson]

Parts of this song strike a strong resemblence to Los Endos by Genesis and I think the title should be Rise and fall.

Brilliant Pallas album!

Saw them at the Marquee, a fantastic gig. Still sounding as great now as they did too many years ago. I will have to get round to putting the vinyl onto Ipod.
