Atlantis Tab

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 beautifulsailors 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 antedeluvian Kings colonised the world; 
 
All the Gods who play a part in the 
        
mythological dramas in all legends  
                                        
from all  lands were from fair Atlantis. 
 
Knowing her fate, Altantis 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. 
 
Tho' 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  
(repeat and fade from 'way down')
