[F] [C] Lay here, of Ansehe [G] on the keyboard, [C] this band from Finland.
And now [G] I would like [D] to leave you with this song before Hector comes.
[G] [F] It's called Atlantis.
[C] [G]
[C] The continent of Atlantis was an [E] island [D] which lay before the great flood
in the area we now [F] know as the Atlantic Ocean.
So [C] great an area of land that from the [G] western shores
those [C] beautiful sailors journeyed to the south and the North [G] Americas [D] with ease
in their ships with painted sail.
[F]
[C] [G]
[C] To the east, Africa.
[D] Across a short strait of sea mile,
the great Egyptian [F] age is but a remnant of the Atlantean culture.
All [C] the gods who play in the [G] mythological dramas
and all legends [C] from all lands.
We're from fair Atlantis.
[D]
[F]
Knowing their [C] fate, Atlantis sent our [G] ships to walk [C] on us at the end.
On board were the twelve, the poet, the [D] farmer, the physician, the scientist, the magician
and [F] the others who called the gods of our legends.
Though gods they [C] were,
[G]
[C] and that the elders of our time choose to [D] remain blind.
Let us sing, let us dance,
[F] and bring in the new age [C] of our gladiators.
[G]
And hail [E] Atlantis!
[C] Without the [D] holy ocean,
[F] where I [C] want to be,
[G] sleeping.
[C] Without the [D] holy ocean,
[F] where I [C] want to be, [G] sleeping.

[F] where I [C] want to be, [G] sleeping.

[G] [C]
Without [D] the holy ocean,
