Atlantis
No Angels & Donovan Lyrics

Way down below the ocean
The singer desires to be in the depths of the sea.

Where I wanna be, she may be
The singer believes that their loved one is in the ocean.

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Atlantis existed as a place that people could inhabit.

Which lay before the great flood
Atlantis existed before a major catastrophic event.

In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
Atlantis existed in what is now known as the Atlantic Ocean.

So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Atlantis was so vast that it easily connected with the other continents.

Those beautiful sailors journeyed
Sailors from Atlantis traveled to other continents.

To the South and the North Americas with ease
Sailors from Atlantis easily reached the Americas from their location.

In their ships with painted sails
Atlantis had advanced technology that allowed them to create beautiful ships.

To the east, Africa was a neighbor, across a short strait of sea miles
Africa was a nearby location in relation to Atlantis separated by a small amount of water.

The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture
The Egyptian culture is based on the remnants of the Atlantean culture.

Like a child who's running wild
The artist is behaving like a child without restraint.

Sinking deeper down the line
The singer is losing themselves further into their obsession.

I close my eyes to see the light
The singer is seeking enlightenment and clarity in their thoughts.

The antediluvian kings colonized the world
The kings who ruled before the great flood took over the world.

All the gods who play in the mythological dramas
Deities in various mythologies were inspired by the culture of Atlantis.

In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis
Atlantis is the root of many legends across the world.

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth
Atlantis knew its destiny and tried to spread its culture across the world.

On board were the Twelve
The Twelve most important people on Atlantis were on those ships.

The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The Twelve included important figures in various fields.

The magician and the other so-called gods of our legends
The Twelve included figures that are seen as mythical gods in modern legends.

Though gods they were
The people of Atlantis were seen as godlike beings.

And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Modern society has chosen to ignore the existence and importance of Atlantis.

Let us rejoice, sing, dance and ring in the new age
We should celebrate the knowledge and culture left behind by Atlantis.

Hail Atlantis!
A call to celebrate and honor Atlantis.

Where I wanna be (where I wanna be), she may be (my antediluvian baby)
The singer desires to be reunited with their loved one who they believe is from the time of the antediluvian civilization.

Way down below the ocean (I wanna see you someday)
The singer wants to see their loved one again.

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
The artist is pleading for their loved one to awaken from the depths of the ocean.
