Lyrics
Mount Skull
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Approaching rugged
Barren and white shores
Enveloped in the black of night
A grim, glacial wasteland
Their final destination in sight
Provisional encampment established
Now fixated on the goal
All spirits high
To unearth the buried
Hidden secrets of the pole
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
Massive range, monstrous peaks
Menacing, fragile
Howling dogs, crew in awe
As they behold Mount Skull
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
Descending, sweltering
Phosphorescent walls
Troglodytes, dreadful shrieks
Echo in huge halls
So long
Only one, may escape
No companions left
Running from that grotesque thing
Lurking in the depths
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
