Atlantis Lyrics - Donovan

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 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!
