Palace of Knossos

Lyrics

These walls faced no foes Nor challengers to the throne Harmony and peace Encased in a labyrinth of stone Frescos fall around us And ceilings turn to dust As the incisors of destiny Sink deep into us All the pottery we painted And the pillars we erected Will anyone ever know of them? For where we paved roads And convinced water to flow Is falling through the cracks again Our mastery of crop And proto-government Will be buried in the memories Of no living Mediterranean We will be forgotten, we will be lost A sunken island, legend to none
