The continent of Atlantis was an island
DWhich lay before the great flood
FIn the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western
Cshores, those beautifulsailors journeyed
Dto the south and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.
G CTo the east Africa was a neighbor across
Da short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a
C Gremnant of the Atlantian culture.
C
The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;
DAll the Gods who play a part in the
mythological dramas in all legends
C Gfrom all lands were from fair Atlantis.
CKnowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships
to all corners of the earth.
DOn board were the twelve, the poet,
Fthe physician, the farmer, the scientist,
the magician, and the other
Gso called Gods of our legends.
CTho' Gods they were and as the elders
of our time choose to remain blind,
Dlet us rejoice and let us
F Csing and dance and ring in the new.
G
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean
F Cwhere I wanna be
Gshe may be
(repeat and fade from 'way down')
