D
The continent of Atlantis was an island
E
Which lay before the great flood
G
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
D A
So great an area of land, that from her western
D
shores, those beautiful sailors journeyed
E
to the south and the North Americas with ease,
G D
in their ships with painted sails.
A D
To the east Africa was a neighbor across
E
a short strait of sea miles.
G
The great Egyptian age is but a
D A
remnant of the Atlantian culture.
D
The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world;
E
All the Gods who play a part in the
G
mythological dramas in all legends
D A
from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
D
Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships
E
to all corners of the earth.
E
On board were the twelve, the poet,
G
the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
D
the magician, and the other
A
so called Gods of our legends.
D
Tho' Gods they were and as the elders
E
of our time choose to remain blind,
E
let us rejoice and let us
G D
sing and dance and ring in the new.
A
Hail Atlantis!
D E
Way down below the ocean
G D
where I wanna be
A
she may be
(repeat and fade from 'way down')
