| 1. Megalodon
From the depths of the ocean
Prehistoric - monstrous distortion
From the depths of creation
Comes the hunter - death's incarnation
Birth of the Gods, first of the Titans
Mastered by no-one, before Poseidon
From the depths of inception
Comes the monster - lost from redemption

«Atlantis Rising» - это первый релиз группы после воссоединения в 2000 году. И надо отметить, что альбом обновленного состава Manilla Road получился весьма достойным на фоне своих блистательных предшественников. Несмотря на то, что за бас и ударные стали отвечать новые люди, стиль группы остался неизменным. Мы слышим величественный эпик-метал в одном из лучших своих воплощений. Последний номерной альбом у Manilla Road выходил в далеком 1990 году. И, на мой взгляд, музыка на «Atlantis Rising» стала еще более размеренной и атмосферной по сравнению с ранними работами. У лидера группы Марка Шелтона, наверное, есть какой-то особый секрет и поэтому звучание у Manilla Road совершенно ни на кого не похоже и узнаваемо с первого аккорда. Кроме характерного вокала вся музыкальная составляющая композиций слышится как-то по-особому, сугубо индивидуально, вне трендов и модных веяний. Хотя инструментальные приемы, применяемые музыкантами группы в игре, стандартны для тяжелой музыки. Это стопроцентный хэви-метал со своей самобытной мрачной фэнтезийной атмосферой. В тон музыке оформлен и буклет диска, который визуально подкрепляет восприятие музыкальных пассажей музыкантов. Старые Боги, Атлантида, Ктулху, Посейдон и Мидгард. Все это до боли знакомо и привычно радует. Мы слышим настоящую Manilla Road. |

Ancient king of tides
Killer instinct in his eyes
'Tis the deep desolation
Dark aquaticx - life's domination
'Tis the thirst for consumption
Comes the creature - bloody seduction
Abomination. life's decimation
Hells' own creation, beast of damnation
'Tis the wake of destruction
Feeding frenzy - god of disruption
Ancient king of tides
Killer instinct in his eyes
Feel the urge for the blood feast
Murderous nature - nature of the beast
Feel the wrath of seven seas
Catclysmic - Fate of the deep-freeze
Cycles comletion, doomed to extinction
Ancient creations, cold termination
Ther will never again be
Such a killer - a shark so deadly
2. Lemuria
Beneath the rolling waves
Inside the coral caves
I lay before the altar stone
To pray for what we once had knwon
From the deluge we did escape
We now live in Poseidon's wake - wake
The wake of Poseidon's rage
I've made the sacrifice
The spell has been cast thrice
What ahve we longed for all these years
Before the world shall soon appear
The elder gods have come to free
Lemuria
3. Atlantis Rising
Few are left that believe
In the lost land of mystery
And the tyrant king
Who drowned the lands is just a dream
Through the eye of the sea
A world of change doth come to be
Through Atlantis' key
The truth is now revealed to thee
Triton's re-birth from Lemuria's tears
Magikal lightning is striking
After the deluge hidden in all these years
Once more Atlantis is rising
For the holy war child
Enguled cathedral's bells still chime
Crystal pyramid's light
Again bestowed upon the night
Blessed mountains doth rise
The ocean parts before thine eyes
Born again of the tides
The gods of Atland are alive
Triton's re-birth from Lemuria's tears
Magikal lightning is striking
After the deluge hidden in all these years
Once more Atlantis is rising
4. Sea Witch
Hear the bells toll for Atland
Celebration of the chimes
Rising up from the drowned lands
The king has brought forth new life
From the mists of the ocean
Beauty born of the crypt
Claiming kingly devotion
Evil's spawn the sea witch
Fatal beauty conspires
To usurp the throne of the king
For Cthulu shall rise
When the witch casts her spells to the the sea
Hear the queen of deception
Spread her lies to all ears
Through her dark incantations
The old ones shall appear
Comes the old ones' avenger
Bringing death to the king
For Cthulu shall rise
When the witch casts her spells to the sea
5. Resurrection
'Tis the ancient spell of calling
The enchantress casts this night
'Tis the time of midgard's falling
As the old ones come alive
Resurrection through the eye - of the sea
As Cthulu comes alive - Midgard bleeds
Necromantic spell of binding
Sealed with blood of sacrifice
See the dream of Atland dying
Through the witches' bloody rites
6. Decimation
Out of the eye of the sea
Bringing his demon army
Elder god of blasphemy
Devouring the witch of the sea
Breaking the spell of binding
Death to Atlantis' queen
Dark winged minions of hell
Brought forth to poison the well
Silencing Poseidon's bells
Armies of Atland are felled
Trition defending the well
Falls to Cthulu's black spell
Scorching the earth
Taking of life
Turning it into disease
Unholy birth
Nature defiled
Mankind is brought to its kness
Now Midgard bleeds
Cthulu's eyes
Face of annihilation
Return of the old one
The god of decimation
7. Flight Of The Ravens
Odin's ravens soar again
Across the planes
The eyes and ears
Of Valhalla
Huginn and Muninn by name
Fly o'er the plains
Thought and memory
of the all-father
Oh their eyes see
Fires of Midgard
As they cross
The rainbow bridge
Oh theirs ears bleed
From screams of war
Deathly magik
Come from the abyss
O'er the bridge black wings doth sail
Bringing the tale
Of blasphemy
And resurrection
To the hall where Wotan hails
Singing the tale
Of Midgards
Death and decimation
Oh their eyes see
Fires of Midgard
As they cross
The rainbow bridge
Oh their ears bleed
From screams of war
Deathly magik
Come from the abyss
8. March Of The Gods
Odin opens the doors of the hall
Rises every warrior to the call
The gods are marching again
Across Bifrost
Valhalla's heroes of death
All cross Bifrost
Heimdall sounding the horn Gjallir
Asgard's calling to war for the earth
Mighty hammer of Thor Mjolnir
Lightning's magikal lord of thunder
9. Siege Of Atland
Attack
Don't look back
Atland must soon be set free
Armies clash
Sons of the night lead the siege and
Attack
Lightning cracks
Torching the flesh that's diseased
Don't hold back
Hack and slash all that you see and
Attack
Aesir warriors come from asgard
To fight Cthulu's demon horde
Odin's army of warrior bards
Led by his son the mighty Thor
Cthulu's dark knights doth make their last stand
Valhalla's warriors lay siege to Atland
Battle rages on for Midgard
Upon the rings of Atland's shores
Blood and guts spill o'er the ramparts
The Valkyries this night doth soar
Cthulu's dark knights doth make their last stand
Valhalla's warriors lay siege to Atland
the minions die beneath the swords of the brave
Sons of the night besiege Atland shall be saved
10. War Of The Gods
Summoning the power of his spear
ALLfather opens the gates
To the temple of Poseidon's tears
Where Triton's slayer waits
As the thunder god brings down the storm
Fighting at his father's side
Poseidon returns to Atland's shores
To avenge his son's demise
Holy gods defy the beast of fear
Now the old one's magik fades
Conjuring their spells the Norns appear
Banishment Cthulu's fate
As the thunder god brings down the storm
Odin's magik fills the night
Poseidon returns to Atland's shores
To open the sacred eye
As the Norns pronounce the fate of war
Cthulu cast through the eye
By Odin's command the mighty Thor
Does remold Midgard back to life
