In Search of the Lost Cities of Antarctica |
| Beneath the ice, the endless ice of Pangaea’s now axial |
| eternally frozen frontier, entombed for countless millions of years… the |
| lost cities of Antarctica! |
| Secrets locked within the ice, the endless ice of Antarctica, |
| 'Neath the peak of Erebus the First Ones sleep, Lords of Pangaea, |
| Cities lost within the night, the frozen night of Antarctica, |
| Pre-Cambrian, the Voyagers, beyond the stars, Lords of Pangaea. |
| Once, the coruscating spires of man here offered their splendour to the |
| heavens. |
| Now, those spires gleam no more, save in dreams of verdant plains, |
| save in dreams of time-lost citadels. |
| Legacy of a utopia lost, forever enshrined 'neath the ice… |
| Sail across Panthalassa to Gondwanaland, |
| Three moons to guide us on this voyage across the sea, |
| Sail across Panthalassa to Gondwanaland, |
| New lands to conquer and claim for our progeny. |
| Before the Third Moon fell from orbit, before the |
| Nine Continents were formed from Pangaea’s shattered surface… |
| Hewn from the Pre-Cambrian rock, behold this primordial metropolis! |
| And the First Ones shall awaken on that day, when man will return to the stars! |
| We, who were before Man, are destined to be the |
| architects of his future! |
| And humanity shall one day rediscover the secrets long-frozen |
| within the lost cities of Antarctica! |
| There will come a day when the ingenuity of man shall pierce that impenetrable |
| shield of ice which keeps Antarctica’s wonders from our inquisitive gaze, and |
| I truly believe that day shall herald a glorious new era of enlightenment for |
| us all. |
