  CThe continent of Atlantis was an island
DWhich lay before the great flood
In the area we now Fcall the Atlantic Ocean.
CSo great an area of Gland, that from her western Cshores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the SouthD  
And the North Americas with ease
FIn their ships with painted sails.C  G  
To the east, CAfrica was a neighbor,
Across a Dshort strait of sea milesD.F  
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
Of the CAtlantian cultureG.
The antediCluvian kings colonized the world;
All the DGods who play in the mythological dramas
In Dall legends from all Flands were from fair Atlantis.C  G  
CKnowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the DEarth.
On board were the Twelve:
The Fpoet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the Cmagician,
And the other so-called GGods of our legends,
CThough Gods they were.
And as the elders of our time Dchoose to remain blind,
Let us rejoice and let Fus sing and dance and ring in the new C. . .
Hail AtlantGis!

The continent of Atlantis was an island

Which lay before the great flood

In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

C G C

So great an area of land, that from her western shores

Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South

And the North Americas with ease

F C G

In their ships with painted sails.

To the east, Africa was a neighbor,

D D F

Across a short strait of sea miles.

The great Egyptian age is but a remnant

C G

Of the Atlantian culture.

The antediluvian kings colonized the world;

All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas

D F C G

In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.

C D

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.

On board were the Twelve:

F C

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,

F C

Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new . . .

Hail Atlantis!
