[Verse 1]
Heroic age of Antarctic exploration
A craft defies the seas alone
Long voyage of discovery
To a continent unknown
On board, only veterans of adventure
Seasoned experts in the field
Vying to become the first
To expose what's unrevealed
[Verse 2]
Approaching rugged
Barren and white shores
Enveloped in the black of night
A grim, glacial wasteland
Their final destination in sight
Provisional encampment establishеd
Now fixated on the goal
All spirits high
To unearth thе buried
Hidden secrets of the pole
[Verse 3]
Wind-lashed and broken
By extreme temperatures
Glaciers and crevasses
Blizzards to endure
Plodding through persistent fog
Poor visibility
On eroded horizons
Looms an impossibility
[Bridge 1]
Massive range, monstrous peaks
Menacing, fragile
Howling dogs, crew in awe
As they behold Mount Skull
[Verse 4]
Fears cast aside
On to an unveiled passageway
Battered and beaten by the storm
Shelter found inside the cave
Astonishing Interior
A labyrinth unfolds
Repulsive rotten stench
Sinister shadows
[Bridge 2]
Descending, sweltering
Phosphorescent walls
Troglodytes, dreadful shrieks
Echo in huge halls
So long
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Only one, may escape
No companions left
Running from that grotesque thing
Lurking in the depths
[Outro]
Decades passed
Since their disappearance
And then his frozen corpse was found
A body, well-preserved by severe frost
His logbook, had fallen on the ground
An expression of terror
Covers a tortured face
Telling the tale of death and pain
The mountain shaped
Like a human skull
Well, that mystery will always remain
