City Anthem: "Rise, Rapture, Rise"

[[I kinda wrote this before I realised there was a ~CANON VERSION~. Man, I win no points for paying attention.]]

No poor Atlantis thee
That sinks beneath the wave;
Instead, a haven for the free,
The beautiful and brave.

Rise, Rapture, rise!
Reflect the beating sun!
Thy people still will thrive when others'
Toiling days are done.

Like silver scales they shine,
Thy towers tall and strong;
All pow'r and all wisdom be thine,
And all thine days be long.

Rise, Rapture, rise!
Reflect the beating sun!
Thy people still will thrive when others'
Toiling days are done.

A man makes what is his,
And thus he is set free;
What fortune ours that we be men
These miles below the sea.

Rise, Rapture, rise!
Reflect the beating sun!
Thy people still will thrive when others'
Toiling days are done.
