Atlantis
Donovan Leitch
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')
