Lost in the Ice

An Antarctic land, deadly unknown Where we explored a mountain range And on the highest ridge we found remains of buildings Like no man’s eye had ever seen A city forgotten on top of the world An entry we found in a stonewall And walked a stairway built aeons ago To streets and houses covered under ice and snow Walls that had mosaics with pictures and reliefs Faces that no eyes’d ever seen, like half flesh and half of steel They had headphones stuck to their skulls No muscles, just wires, a technical pulse The creatures look weird, scary and strange The art on the walls, it told us their tale They came from a planet light-years away from here To bring knowledge, truth and culture to this undeveloped place The fathers out of space Before life crept out of water Mother Earth was occupied But the climate changed the borders, now they are lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice They build up life from desert and stones Our planet grew up helped by elder ones Then the ice came and they had to move away To the middle earth and then the stories on the pictures ended When they had left the land Before life crept out of water Mother Earth was occupied But the climate changed the borders, now they are lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice All their buildings, streets and stonewalls sleep in this forgotten place But what happened to the creatures when they were lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice What a strange and awful vision for us all It made us shiver to the bone What if now some of these creatures still survived In the caves under the Pole? Before life crept out of water Mother Earth was occupied But the climate changed the borders, now they are lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice And then we walked beneath the city, hours and hours When suddenly we heard a strange and distant sound All I remember is my flight from this dark place A flight from the alien creature’s face, my ancestor from space Lost in the ice Lost in the ice Lost in the ice Whoever were these old remains, his blood is flowing in my veins Is flowing in my veins Before life crept out of water Mother Earth was occupied But the climate changed the borders, now they are lost in the ice All their buildings, streets and stonewalls sleep in this forgotten place But what happened to the creatures when they were lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice
