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