Antarctica Songtext / Lyric

Long before I ever saw

The frost upon your face

I was haunted by your beauty

And it drew me to this place

I felt the chill of mystery

With one foot on your shore

And then and there resolved to go

Where no man had before



Chorus:

Maybe I was snowblind

But it seemed the wind spoke true

And I believed its stories then

As dreamers sometimes do

In Antarctica

In Antarctica






Who knows what the powers may be

That cause a man to go



Mindless of the dangers

Out across the virgin snow

Seduced by this ambition

I easily forget

The hopeless quest of Shackleton

The dreamlike death of Scott



Chorus



Maybe I was snowblind

Perhaps it sapped my will

But something of my innocence

Is wandering there still

In Antarctica

In Antarctica

In Antarctica

In Antarctica
