(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
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
