10. Ys the lost city of Brittany
(Music and Lyrics: Tim Hunter)

Ys the lost city of Brittany
Ys the lost city of Brittany
The Fortress of Mystery
Swallowed into the sea

When the tide is low,
some of the towers of Ys can be seen
And Bells from its temples can be heard
Ys was the most beautiful city in the world,
With great white palaces and temples to the old gods.
I remember many moons ago
We spent some time in Saint Malo
Talking bout the Celtic legends
Drinking Calvados
I thought those days would never end
Ys the lost city of Brittany
Ys the lost city of Brittany
The Fortress of Mystery
Swallowed into the sea

In my dreams we returned to Brittany and
we saw something rising from the sea,
from the sea

[Sea God]
I am the Sea God risen from the Ocean Waves!
I am the Sea God risen from the Ocean Waves!

The Sea God told us how he wanted us to be happy, To join him in the city beneath the sea – you and me.

Ys the lost city of Brittany
Ys the lost city of Brittany
The Fortress of Mystery
Swallowed into the sea
