Australia Aquaria Lyrics
[Intro]
I love Australia
Land of our dreamtime
See ya there
[Verse 1]
The Dreamtime legends tell
How many millions of years ago
When the planet Earth was forming
Australia was the birthplace
Of the very first race of men
We chose our bodies (Bodies)
And were born in (Born in)
We came down
Born from the body of the mother of Earth
For eternal fortune's wheel
We came down
Born in a dream of a blue-green planet
So seemingly surreal
[Verse 2]
To help thеm solve a problem
A brother camе from space
He came down
He landed with his helpers
To understand this time and place
He wrote down
He wrote down
How to be a master of the mysteries of life
Light and sound
How to control the material magic, so seemingly surreal
[Pre-Chorus]
From Lemuria to Aquaria
Om, Australia, light of the age
From Lemuria to Aquaria
Om, Australia, light of the age
From Lemuria to Aquaria
Om, Australia, light of the age
[Chorus]
Australia Aquaria
Sittin' on the back of the Rainbow Serpent, yeah
Australia Aquaria
Sittin' on the back of the Rainbow Serpent, yeah
[Instrumental]
*Australian nature sounds*
[Verse 3]
Kulmara, Kulmara
Kulmara was his name
He came from the morning star
He came down
To name this civilisation here
Lemuria (Lemuria)
He came down
We came too
Down to see the beauty of this Garden of Eden land
We came through
Reincarnation in Lemuria nation of light and colour and sound
Ah
Ah
[Verse 4]
Such beauty, sensation and pleasure
Was much too much to bear
We broke down
We lost control of our energy
Blew our dreams away
Fire came down
We were there
Memories stir, and there we were
Like babes of sea and earth
Here and now
Back in place, the sixth great race
As Aquarius comes to birth
[Pre-Chorus]
From Lemuria to Aquaria
Om, Australia, light of the age
From Lemuria to Aquaria
Om, Australia, light of the age
From Lemuria to Aquaria
Om, Australia, light of the age
[Chorus]
Australia Aquaria
Sittin' on the back of the Rainbow Serpent, yeah
Australia Aquaria
Sittin' on the back of the Rainbow Serpent, yeah
[Outro]
*Whistling and Australian nature sounds*
I love Australia
Land of our dreamtime
See ya there
Ah
