Here's the lyrics to the tenth of the latest round of Guess Ten songs. The lyrics we asked you to guess about are shown this way within the body of the song lyric.



Atlantis Calling

[spoken]
On behalf of unknown heroes...

And the priest said to Solon:
'Solon, you Greeks are but children'

In those days the Atlantic was navigable
And there was an island in front of the Pillars of Hercules
It sank in a single day and night of rain

In Bimini there's a temple that is rising from the sea
In Iberia the language of the Basques a mystery
The Tiahuanaco ruins, a secret closed to men
Canary Island legends, and don't forget Stonehenge

[sung] Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling

[spoken]
There's legends of the Flood with every race around the world
The waters are the same that keep Atlantis covered still
On both sides of the ocean there were many things alike
Pyramids, sarcophagi, the customs and the rites
Egyptians spoke about it to Greeks who did believe
Of echoes of disaster from ancient history
From the land beneath the sea

[sung]
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling

(instrumental break)

[sung]Atlantis calling - [spoken]of deeds that go unsung
[sung]Atlantis calling - [spoken]the time will surely come

[spoken]
The answer will be found
The mystery unwound
Origins explained

On behalf of unknown heroes
For heroes there must be

In any land that crumbles
And sinks beneath the sea
And if that land existed
Be it how or when or where
Then isn't the conclusion
That all roads lead to...

[sung]
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
Atlantis calling
(Hear when they call)
Atlantis calling
(Hear when they call)
(repeat to end)

From the album Lights in the Night by Flash and the Pan
