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