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 beautifulsailors 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
Thoʼ 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
