I feel the world like Atlas the Greek
I see no amazing feat I'd ever complete
I stumble in defeat

I feel the world like Atlas the Greek
I see beauty and joy
In the pity and sighs

The world, no matter how dark,
will always be pushed to the light by Atlas the Greek

I feel the world like Atlas the Greek
I smile as my defeat is complete
Indulge me for the beauty I caught
'Twas no easy task to find beauty- in death

I feel the world like Atlas the Greek
The world is heavy and fully on dark
The sun rises to greet us now

As the world collapses in Atlas' defeat
Who'd thought to think
- Atlas would sink-
In defeat
The great is deplete
