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,
where I wanna be she may be
