Lyrics-

beginning narration from Plato's Timaeus

...And there was an island situated in front of the Straits,
which are by you called the Pillars of Heracles;
the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together.

Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire,
which had rule over the whole island and several others,
and over parts of the other continents...

I'm ready, ready for Bathymetry,
I'm ready, to see the risen sea,
I'm ready for the Data, ready for the Dives,
Ready to say what a time to be alive,
I'm ready, ready to show,

In the Atlantic Ocean, West of the Straits,
Deep underwater, just like Plato states,

ATLANTIS, ATLANTIS !

I'm ready, ready for the satellites,
I'm ready, to see what they have seen,
I'm ready for the science, ready for the proof,
Ready to set free the truth,
I'm ready, ready to go,

ATLANTIS, ATLANTIS !

Instrumental break

Our History is estranged,
Get a glimpse of the past,
Watching Outpost Station,
You'll see Atlantis at last,

ATLANTIS ATLANTIS ATLANTIS,
ATLANTIS ATLANTIS ATLANTIS !

2 miles down,
2 miles down,
It's 2 miles down,
2 miles down,

ending narration from Plato's Timaeus

...But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods;
and in a single day and night of misfortune
all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth,
and the island of Atlantis in like manner
disappeared in the depths of the sea...

It's 2 miles down, down, down.
