Lyrics

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 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:

A poet, a physician, a farmer, a scientist
A 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 club club, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
