GOODBYE ATLANTIS ONCE AGAIN words by Joel Sattler and Jim Scott/music by Jim Scott

From deep inside a million dreams
The children came with magic eyes
Into our ancient wonderland
Full of pain and hate and lies

They played their games and sang to us
And told us stories of their birth
Of machines that turned to rust
And of life's returning to the earth

Goodbye Atlantis once again
Again the myth comes to an end
Again the sea has buried you
Again the legend starts anew

The island sank the people died
A million cries were drowned away
The soul was sunken in the tide
To await for better days

And for a time these were the days
The world was ours to make the rules
Trying our electric ways
Testing the atomic haze
Our bones a legacy of fossil fuels

So turn another page
So ends the Aquarian Age
And say goodbye

Goodbye Atlantis once again
Again the myth comes to an end
Again the sea has buried you
Again the legend starts anew
