Atlantis lyrics

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 her 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

(she may, she may, she may, shey may)

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

My antediluvian baby

My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl

I wanna see you some day

My antediluvian baby, oh, yeah

I wanna see you some day

Oh, my antediluvian baby

My antediluvian baby, oh

I wanna see you

My antediluvian baby

Gotta tell me where she gone

I wanna see you some day

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh, yeah

Oh, glub, glub, down, down, yeah

My antediluvian baby
