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

Maybe I was snow blind
Perhaps the wind spoke true
I believed those stories then
As travelers sometimes do

In Antarctica
Antarctica

Who knows what the powers might be
That cause a man to go
Mindless of the dangers
Out across that virgin snow

Seduced by this ambition
I so easily forgot
The hopeless quest of Shackleton
The dreamlike death of Scott

Maybe I was snow blind
Perhaps the wind spoke true
I believed those rumors then
As travelers sometimes do

In Antarctica
Antarctica

Maybe I was snow blind
Perhaps it sapped my will
But something of my innocence
Is wandering there still

In Antarctica
Antarctica
Antarctica
Antarctica
