The Thing

Antarctica winter 1982

Research was going steady

And there was nothing much to do

In the distance a lone wolf flees

But no one knows

The carnage that this animal will bring

Violence unfolds

Assaulted by Norwegian guests

They'll have to die like all the rest

Searching through the snow

Discovering the frozen corpse

Of something that's not of this earth

The creatures comes forth

An evil makes its presence known

Attempting to create a clone

Nowhere to go

And something grim is at hand

Something in this artic land

The Thing

No one knows the hell it will bring

It's got you from the inside

It's taking over your life

Intentions so unexplained

Until it gets a hold of your brain

Hiding till the damage is done

Killing them off one by one

The sense of fear begins to grow

No one has protection

From this dangerous infection

Their fates in the hands of the unknown

And nerves are quickly blowing

While the thing is steadily growing

Whom to trust they'll never know

And nothing can contain

A creature unexplained

Half the crews dead more to go

Somehow it's got to stop

And now McReadys getting pissed off

Now there's nothing left to do

Discovering who's human

Is what this final test will prove

Deadly results are what this test brings

But it's the final hope

To unveil his gruesome being

Violence unfolds

The test was the solution

Now its time for execution

Searching through the snow

And now Blair is the last Thing left

He'll fight until his dying breath

The creatures comes forth

But this will be the final clash

And kills it with a giant blast

Nowhere to go

Our hero's fate is finally sealed

The camp is lost The Thing is killed (or is it?)
