lyrics

The Iceman
Sleeps
In the Cave
Alone

I went
Outside
to flee
my home

We went
Beyond
To seek
New Life

But as
We came
We lost
Our way

Oh yeah

We ventured
Deeper
Into
The unknown

And then
We lost
All
Control

(Instrumental break I: In this part the Iceman descends upon the explorers and mercilessly massacres them)

I am
Alone now
All
That's left

The beast
He lingers
He torments
The deaths

I will
Not rest
Till one
Is done

That thing
Will be
The end
of me

Oh yeah

The end
Oh yeah

Traveller's monologue:

My body is frozen solid
I am alone now in a small cave
On the hillside
My friends and loved ones lay dead

Outside I hear it
I hear the Iceman Cometh
I can smell his horrible odor
It is the odor
The odor of my loved ones he has slain

Suddenly, he is upon me
And with his horrible claws and fangs
He tears
Into my flesh
In a horrible orgy of destruction and chaos
Only the consciousness remains
as the body
is torn
to pieces

(Instrumental break II: As the Iceman shrieks horribly, the last survivor's body is torn to pieces)

Editor's note: there's a 17 minute long version from around 2015 I have somewhere in the vault. Let that sink in.

John E. Miles is one of the best songwriters out there. Check out "I Went Out To the Darkness" and "Owl". His production style here is also very innovative and unique. Chris Dryfoos

its alright, im okay vol. 1
by Matthew Hall

This record will take you on a very cool trip. I love the minimalistic and highly atmospheric tone. It's like walking through a rainy forest by yourself. Just listen to a track like "Sunflower"! Chris Dryfoos

Sad Times in Romani Town
by The Romani Brothers

This record is better than the Beatles. Listen and find out for yourself. "A Serious Mess" has the greatest lyrics known to mankind. Chris Dryfoos
