In Search Of The Lost Cities Of Antarctica Lyrics - Atlantis Ascendant - Bal-sagoth

Beneath the ice, the endless ice of Pangaea's now axial 

Eternally frozen frontier 

Entombed for countless millions of years 

The lost cities of Antarctica 

Secrets locked within the ice, the endless ice of Antarctica 

'Neath the peak of Erebus the first ones sleep, Lords of Pangaea 

Cities lost within the night, the frozen night of Antarctica 

Pre-Cambrian, the Voyagers, beyond the stars, Lords of Pangaea 

Once, the coruscating spires of man 

Here offered their splendor to the heavens 

Now, those spires gleam no more 

Save in dreams of verdant plains 

Save in dreams of time-lost citadels 

Legacy of a utopia lost, forever enshrined 'neath the ice 

Sail across Panthalassa to Gondwanaland 

Three moons to guide us on this voyage across the sea 

Sail across Panthalassa to Gondwanaland 

New lands to conquer and claim for our progeny 

Before the Third Moon fell from orbit 

Before the nine continents were formed 

From Pangaea's shattered surface 

Hew from the Pre-Cambrian rock 

Behold this primordial metropolis 

And the first ones shall awaken on that day 

When man will return to the stars 

We, who were before man, are destined to be the 

Architects of his future 

And humanity shall one day rediscover the secrets long-frozen 

Within the lost cities of Antarctica 

There will come a day when the ingenuity of man 

Shall pierce that impenetrable 

Shield of ice which keeps Antarctica's 

Wonders from our inquisitive gaze 

And I truly believe that day shall herald a glorious 

New era of enlightenment for us all
