Atlantis 2002 (with Donovan) Lyrics

Atlantis 2002 (with Donovan) 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
