Within the shadow of the arctic mounts of ice,
Night had veiled the pole and darkness filled the sky.
The air was so cold – cutting our skin,

Freezing voices called us and the
Winter winds did sing:
"Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li" through the night…

What ghoulish creatures brought 'em forth?
What sphere had opened wide?

"Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li" sounding through the air…

Where it did lead us to, no mortal
Man should dare.
Right before our eyes of monolithic size,
One labyrinth of cities – draped in moonlight – did arise

"Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li" through the night…
Leading to the icy ruins
A long forbidden site…

"Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li" through the night…

Build by horror creatures
From beyond our spheres of light…
