Atlas Obscura Lyrics

Thousands of years
Passing like seconds
They're frozen in time
Hard to believe
All of the sights that
We're never meant to see

Caverns of ice unyielding
Dripping and slowly building
Eons that fly in darkness
So it goes on

Fuming lakes filled with fire
A massive eternal pyre
Burning beneath the surface
Forevermore

A hidden universe upon which rests all life

They're alive
Hidden from sight
Will we ever witness what they hide
Alien and beautiful, strange and serene
For all time
Weaving a veil
No one's ever going to hear their tale
All human history, a sigh from her endless lungs

Canyons of broken beauty
Primordial waters flow still
Pillars of crystal holding
The face of the earth

Thriving in isolation
Glow worm illumination
Pure and untouched for centuries
So it goes on

A hidden universe upon which rests all life

They're alive
Hidden from sight
Will we ever witness what they hide
Alien and beautiful, strange and serene
For all time
Weaving a veil
No one's ever going to hear their tale
All human history, a sigh from her endless lungs

Lost in time and draped in shadow
Never found, unspoiled domains
Ice and fire, earth and wind and sky

Dancing shadows will crumble and fall
While, uncaring, they will carry on

They're alive
Hidden from sight
Will we ever witness what they hide
Alien and beautiful, strange and serene
For all time
Weaving a veil
No one's ever going to hear their tale
Shoulders that tirelessly hold up the earth
They're alive
Hidden from sight
Will we ever witness what they hide
Alien and beautiful, strange and serene
For all time
Weaving a veil
No one's ever going to hear their tale
All human history, a sigh from her endless lungs
