The Thing Songtext
von Municipal Waste

In Antarctica, winter, 1982
Research is going steady as there′s nothing much to do
But in the distance, a lone wolf flees
But no one knows the cause and is unable to breathe

Violence unfolds
A solo miner reaches their collapse and dies all around
Searching through the snow
Discovering the presence of corpses, sure that this is not a joke
The creature comes forth
An evil mix of prices no one's trying to create a clone
Nowhere to go
A subject′s grim as they head southward and it's off to their graves


The thing
No one knows how it'll prey
It′s got you frozen inside
It′s taking over your life
Its head shoots out its flames
Tearing through the heart of your brain
Like to the damage it's done
Killing off one by one

Satchel of fear begins to pull
And no one has protection from this dangerous infection
Facing heads of the unknown
And there′s a creature growing while it's in its deadly dwelling

The thing
No one knows how it′ll prey
It's got you frozen inside
It′s taking over your life
Its head shoots out its flames
Tearing through the heart of your brain
Like to the damage it's done
Killing off one by one


Who to trust, they'll never know
And nothing can contain the creature on the other plane
Half the crew stands, more to go
Somehow it′s gotta stop, but never could, you just get pissed off
And now there′s nothing left to do
Discovering his human son that's found in bits of blue
Devil, his soul, with this death spray
Will end the final hope to Antarctica′s debate

Violence unfolds
With no successful solution, now it's time for execution
Searching through the snow
And plans are all left to rot, nobody doing so impressed
The creature comes forth
And this will be the final clash, kills them with a giant blast
Nowhere to go
And in its veins, all its steel, that′s when all the thing is killed
