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