[Verse 1] In the shadow of the icy peaks, Where the frostbitten winds do scream, A tale of doom, a frozen crypt, Lies the secret, an ancient dream. We ventured forth with hearts aflame, To unearth the past, to know the name, Of the beasts that once did rule, In an era older than the moon. [Pre-Chorus] Through the blizzard's veil, a whisper cold, A warning left by the ancients old, Of a lore forgotten, best unseen, In the heart of Antarctica's sheen. [Chorus] At the mountains of madness, where the primal gods reside, We uncovered horrors beyond the Veil of Time, Frozen in ice, the fossils of a race divine, And the truth we found, no mortal mind should ever climb. [Verse 2] Cyclopean cities, twisted forms, Elder Signs that clutch and claw, The Shoggoths writhe, the Old Ones sleep, In a realm where reason dare not keep. With every step, a new despair, In the darkness, no escape to share, The weight of eons on our backs, In this desolate and alien land we lack. [Pre-Chorus] Through the blizzard's veil, a whisper cold, A warning left by the ancients old, Of a lore forgotten, best unseen, In the heart of Antarctica's sheen. [Chorus] At the mountains of madness, where the primal gods reside, We uncovered horrors beyond the Veil of Time, Frozen in ice, the fossils of a race divine, And the truth we found, no mortal mind should ever climb. [Bridge] The Earth was born in a fit of madness, From chaos' womb, a screaming mess, And now we realize, in our final hours, The void's embrace, the final breath, it calls. For in the end, it's clear to see, The price of knowledge is the key, To unlock the gates of that eternal night, Where elder gods feast, and all is right. [Final Chorus] At the mountains of madness, where the primal gods reside, We uncovered horrors beyond the Veil of Time, Frozen in ice, the fossils of a race divine, And the truth we found, no mortal mind should ever climb, For in the shadows, we are but fleas, In the grand tapestry, our knowledge vain, The mountains stand eternal, where the elder gods reign. [Outro] So let the snow descend, and cover all, In the silence, hear the call, Of the ancient ones, who wait and watch, In the mountains of madness, where the shadows dare to tread.
