The Thing

[Short Instrumental Intro]

Antarctica, Winter, 1982
Research was going steady and there was nothing much to do
In the distance a lone wolf flees
But no one knows the carnage that this animal will bring

Violence unfolds
Assaulted by Norwegian guests they'll have to die like all the rest
Searching through snow
Discovering the frozen corpse of something that's not of this earth
The creature comes forth
An evil makes its presence known attempting to create a clone
Nowhere to go
And something grim is at hand somewhere in this arctic land

The Thing, no one knows the hell it will bring
It's got you from the inside, it's taking over your life
Intentions so unexplained, until it gets a hold of your brain
Hiding 'til the damage is done, kill 'em off one by one

The sense of fear begins to grow, and no one has protection from this dangerous infection
Their fates in the hands of the unknown, and nerves are quickly blowing while The Thing is steadily growing

The Thing, no one knows the hell it will bring
It's got you from the inside, it's taking over your life
Intentions so unexplained, until it gets a hold of your brain
Hiding 'til the damage is done, kill 'em off one by one

Who to trust they'll never know
And nothing can contain a creature of the unexplained
Half the crew's dead, more to go
Somehow it's got to stop and now McReady's getting pissed off
Now there's nothing left to do
Discovering who's human is what this final test will prove
Deadly results are what this test brings
But it's the final hope to unveil this gruesome being

Violence unfolds
The test was the solution, now it's time for execution
Searching through snow
And Blair's the last Thing left, he'll fight until his dying breath
The creature comes forth
But this will be the final clash, kills it with a giant blast
Nowhere to go
Our hero's fate is finally sealed, after all, The Thing is killed
