The continent of Atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantis was a city and island that by the wrath of the Gods was sunk into the sea. First records of Atlantis appear in Plato's dialogues and at that time all of the known oceans were considered as one ocean (not seven seas then). That one ocean was of course what we now call the Atlantic ocean. Scientifically there has never been any proof that it did exist. On the other hand, it was also never proven that it did not exist. Either way, supposing it did exist at one time, the location is still disputed and there are many different theories as to its actual location. 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, (5x)
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,

Girl, I wanna see you some day.

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah “Atlantis” was written by Donovan Leitch |
