The continent of Atlantis was an island
|
which lay before the great flood
|
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
|
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
|
those beautiful sailors journeyed
|
to the South and the North Americas with ease,
|
in their ships with painted sails.
|
|
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
|
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
|
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
|
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
|
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
|
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
|
On board were the Twelve:
|
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
|
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
|
Though Gods they were -
|
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
|
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
|
Hail Atlantis!
|
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
|
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
|
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
|
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
|
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
|
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
|
I wanna see you some day
|
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
|

|
Girl, I wanna see you some day.

|

|

|
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
