Donovan - 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 a neighbor

Across a short strait of sea miles

The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the Atlantian culture

The antediluvian kings colonized the world

All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas

In all legends from all lands were from far 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 (3x)

(Till it fades).
