The Antarctic ( /ænˈtɑrktɪk/ or /ænˈtɑrtɪk/) is a polar region, specifically the region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole. The Antarctic comprises the continent of Antarctica and the ice shelves, waters, and island territories in the Southern Ocean situated south of the Antarctic Convergence. The region covers some 20% of the Southern Hemisphere, of which 5.5% (14 million km2) is the surface area of the continent itself.
The maritime part of the region constitutes the area of application of the international Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), where for technical reasons the Convention uses an approximation of the Convergence line by means of a line joining specified points along parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude. The implementation of the Convention is managed through an international Commission headquartered in Hobart, Australia by an efficient system of annual fishing quotas, licenses and international inspectors on the fishing vessels, as well as satellite surveillance.
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
CHORUS
Maybe I was snowblind
But it seemed the wind spoke true
And I believed it's stories then
As dreamers sometimes do
In Antarctica
In Antarctica
Who knows what the powers may be
That cause a man to go
Mindless of the dangers
Out across the virgin snow
Seduced by this ambition
I easily forget
The hopeless quest of Shackleton
The dreamlike death of Scott
CHORUS
Maybe I was snowblind
Perhaps it sapped my will
But something of my innocence
Is wandering there still
In Antarctica
In Antarctica
In Antarctica
In Antarctica
I'm a snow plow, I must now plow on
I'm a snow plow, I'm a settler's son
Well, I'm a storm cloud
(I'm a storm cloud)
Rain myself all over the place
I tell you, I'm a storm cloud
(I'm a storm cloud)
You gotta wipe that storm right off your face
(Wipe that smile right off your face)
There must be one place left in the world
Where the mountains meet the sea
(One place left in the world)
There must be one place left in the world
Where the water's real and clean, yeah
(One place left in the world)
Landslide
(I'm a landslide)
I, I'm a downhill run
(I'm a downhill run)
Well, I'm a landslide
(I'm a landslide)
Open season's, ya, it's just begun
(Open season's just begun)
There must be one place left in the world
(One place left in the world)
Where the skin says it can breathe
(One place left in the world)
There's gotta be one place left in the world
(One place left in the world)
It's a solitude, distance and relief
(One place left in the world)
There's gotta be one place left in the world
(I'm a snow plow)
There has to be one place left in the world
(One place left in the world)
One place
(I'm a snow plow)
One place left in the world
(One place left in the world)
I'm a short fuse, I'm a slow blues
(One place left in the world)
I'm a landslide hummin, I'm a downhill runnin'
There must be, there must be
(One place left in the world)
There must be one place left in this world
(One place left in the world)
Where we can be
Antarctica, Antarctica
Antarctica, Antarctica
Ice Age is here, right in your town
Antarctica, look what you've done
And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme
And I, I feel like you really know what I mean
Nightfall's heartbeat, the street's in a mess
On reflector, the beach is endless
And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme
And I, I feel like you really know what I mean
It's my turn, it's my turn
Antarctica, Antarctica
No Day, no night, and always the sound
Ice pressure [unverified]
(Antarctica)
It's me that's found
And I, I feel like I'm really part of your scene
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
Pictures moving, and always the whirls
Antarctica, where are you now
(Antarctica)
And I, I feel like I'm really part of your scheme
And I, I feel like you're losing your dream
Antarctica, Antarctica
Antarctica, Antarctica
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
And I, I feel like I'm really lost in your seam
It's my turn, it's my turn
It's my turn, it's my turn
Gaping in the horizon, entire continent cloached on ice move
With giant ice sheets constantly on the move
Seas of this continent so cold and invincible
Where icebergs more as monuments, towards a dry damned earth
Behind the gates and mighty portals
Of the arctic polar circle
Builds the frozen, frozen layers of snow
A perfect platform to grow against the seasons
Towering in the horizon
An entire continent cloached on ice
With giant ice sheets floating nearer
Nearer with its tide and icy waves, waves
The snowbelts of Antarctica rise
With its dark polar winter storms
Shadow of Antarctica spreads
With its masses of permafrost
The climate shifts to colder for the icier age
Glaciers stretches far washing everything away
The darkest face of ice, ahh, the coldest place of all
The rain begins, the tide it pulls
And it drags me down, [Incomprehensible]
Keep rolling in, keep rolling in
Alone you float, she won't let go
And it spins you out
Keep rolling in, keep rolling in, keep rolling in
Underneath a web of satellites
Concrete structures puncture holes in the sky
Nothing lives here and no one comes here anymore
Redesign me, I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
Redesign me, I lost my grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
She winks and glows
If I could run from this, I swear I'd take you with me
But this place has got the best of us again
And it won't just go away
We're driving in with our hearts half mast
And there's nothing left to say
Redesign me, I lost my grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
Redesign me, I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
All I have
Is strictly forbidden
And all I have
Is strictly insane
We know what we want
But that's not always good for us
Insanity
Is not always dispair
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give, is so much more
When nothing is left
There's nothing to loose
When there's nothing to loose, there is peace of the mind
We all fall into oblivion
And history slowly fades
What's done doesn't matter
What matter's not done
All we have
Belongs to no one
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give, is so much more
When nothing is left
There's nothing to loose
I climbed the mountains and scaled the ice
Released defiance
My blood ran white, cold and numb
I saw the shadows of demigods
Whispering answers that time forgot
Forever true
I’m frozen blue
There’s not much time
I died for you
A true believer, the king of lies
We all betrayed you
Your blood ran white
I’m frozen blue
There’s not much time
I died for you
Left behind everything I knew
All the colors but bone-white and sky-blue
Hit the continent running
Engines were humming just to break through
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
Under ice there's a world moving slow
Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
I try to stay drunk so nobody knows
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
And then there's morning
Each one feels like the first one
Ah, morning, so clean, so pure
Nothing so clear, now that I'm here
When I get back to the city
Everything's cluttered and pretty
I won't regret my return
I'll just remember the wind and the snow
And the howling so loud
That it alone drowns out the inside of me
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
Father, we fled your house of grey.
We ran from home to seek a place where our bodies would never grow.
Dreamer, child, be cautious of this world.
She has an appetite for boys and girls and she’s hungry for your soul.
Little boys with dreams of paper planes were never meant to scrape the sky.
Keep your feet on the ground kid, only birds were meant to fly.
Keep your head from the clouds kid, keep your wings,
Always keep them by your side.
Before you fly you’ll fall, before you walk you’ll crawl.
You’ve no need to stitch your shadow to your heels.
No, not this time.
Son you’ll walk with no whisper, no sound.
Only the feet of the heavy hearted are held to the ground.
You’ve no need to draw the curtains son, throw them wide.
Cross the borders between the never and the night.
Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on ‘til morning,
Past the second star to the right.
We’ll be the smoke curling on the still.
The airship captains; we wait for sun to brush the hills.
Son, I share your windward dreams,
To soar from this little town of shacked up windows and swinging doors.
The rafters creak and the floorboards groan
While the shadows dance to the tapping of my toes.
There’s nothing left for us but altitude.
We’ll be the kings of the air.
Stolen, by the wind that turns the leaves to razors.
A time is there upon us, and now we must away, (away, dear Molly),
For a cup is lying empty, a ship lies in a bay, (away, dear Molly),
Now the light, is gone from the sky, a single white tear, it falls from your eye, And when the morning light comes, will be the last time, that I see the sun
So runaway, Antarctica, (woe, oh, oh, oh),
So runaway, Antarctica
Our Lord has many creatures, the crayton and the small, (away, dear Molly),
I'd love to press a spike, into the greatest of them all, (away, dear Molly),
When the wind, some viper of gwen, and sailors could spend six months in the night,
Where the ice is fast closing in, and all that is warm, is a bottle of gin...
So runaway, Antarctica, (woe, oh, oh, oh),
Antarctica
I gave him the gun
We was in we was in
I gave him the gun
And this was in
No place in the world that you know
Say I got a problem
Head like an oven
You see
Could take me a while to settle it
But I’ll never settle it
With you talking to me
When the last mobster is gone
We go too in an icy dawn
You can’t consider it land
And you can not call it the sea
I’m alone with what seems like your suitcase
And in your suitcase
Is a hand
For me
When the last mobster is gone
We go too in an icy dawn
Where the first flat starts to crack
We step out we don’t get back
A deserted complex of townhomes built high in the air
Remembering you and your family there
The plummeting view down the cliffside stair
To a swimming pool that opens to the ocean below
This was no place in the world that you know
Say I got a problem
Head like an oven
You see
Could take me a while to settle it
And until I settle it
Won’t you leave me hung on the tree
When the last mobster is gone
We go too in an icy dawn
Where the first flat starts to crack
We step out we don’t get back
Antarctica
I gave him the gun
We was in we was in
I gave him the gun
And this was in...
Antarctica
I gave him the gun
We was in we was in
I gave it to him
And this was in
You can hear screams
but you can't make the words,
the silence hits you harder than a train
You feel a shiver run up and down your stairs
Now cross your heart and hope to tranquilize
(here it comes, here it comes)
Chorus
So cold now, you're frozen
No blue light can, can ever come ever come
Your silent, no flashing light
The morning breaks it's promises
Lift your head, off the guillotine
So young and full of rich reaaal dreams
Oooooh you can't see the sky
For all the words I couldn't find
Come over here
To whisper like the razor blades
and you, never fall, never fall
Chorus
So cold now, you're frozen now
No blue light can, can ever come ever come
Your silent, there's no flashing lights
The morning breaks
Don't have a clue about the rules on here,
Never gonna know now, I know how he feels
While the shivers gone steel every night he gets in
And here he waited here at the hospital bed
Don't have a clue about the rules on here,
Never gonna know now, I know how he feels
While the shivers gone steel, every night he gets in
And here he waited here at the hospital bed
Chorus
So cold now, you're so frozen now
No blue light can, can ever come ever come
Your silent, there's no flashing light
The morning breaks
Won't break
It's time to lay the kids down to sleep
And pray the lord their souls to keep
For if they cry in fear that I might not come back
It's in the haunted forest where the witch cooks her kids
And I'm delirious as she sings me her song
The cops and the dogs are close behind
To save me from her knives
They pull me out just in time
But in Antarctica it's a place where I don't feel alone
In Antarctica our worries are buried in the snow
And the witch can't find me here
And all of my friends are there
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
I've been in this car far way too long
It's twisted my back all wrong
I can't open my hands
They are far way to wake
And fall it only comes twice a year
Once in autumn and once for fear
I blame it on all my tears
I blame it on all my tears
In Antarctica it's a place where I don't feel alone
In Antarctica our worries are buried in the snow
And the witch can't find me here
And all of my friends are there
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
And we'll never part in Antarctica
Aren't we leaving today?
Abandoning the world
No more cities, we'll kill technology
No more boys and no more girls
I pray for the snow
You and I drown in the blue and cold
And fall so in love...
Teach me how to whisper...
Teach me how to whisper...
Are we leaving today?
We're learning to die
Learning to solve everything
Through beautiful goodbyes
I pray for the snow
We'll fall so in love...
Teach me how to whisper...
Teach me how to whisper...
Teach me how to whisper...
