8. Atlantis 

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 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. 

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, 

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, 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, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
