At the Mountains of Madness Lyrics


In the deep freeze of the antarctic lands

Cold and mighty the mountains stand

Natures highest giants they seem to be

We cannot believe what we see

Here we are – hungry for secrets

Travelling – in the ice and snow

What will we – find in the mountains

Full of faith – full of hope

(Prof.) lake found creatures half animal, half plant

But he goes too far, and now he's crying for help

When we reached their camp the horrors already begun

Where did these monsters come from

Here we are – at the mountains of madness

What we found – is the disturbing past

What was this – which unholy power

Curiosity – is what dies last

And as we fly over the plateau of leng

We almost hit the point of going insane

A million year old city, is what we see as the first

The most hidden place on planet earth

As we walk – through the huge buildings

Sled tracks – in the fresh snow

Found Gedney dead – but what did this

So we go – in the caves below

Here we are – at the mountains of madness

What we found – is the disturbing past

What lives here – which unholy power

Curiosity – is what dies last

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear,

And the oldest and strongest kind of fear,

Is fear of the unknown." (H. H. Lovecraft)
