shores, those beautifulsailors journeyed

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;
D
All the Gods who play a part in the

mythological dramas in all legends

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
F C
where I wanna be

she may be
