I am the bitterest of nights
When all of your love is frozen rain
The hand that's blocking out the light
And from the earth I stole this name
Antarctica, Antarctica

Don't pretend you've never seen
These ancient eyes as dark as hell
You look away as if to say
You don't know me
But you do, you know me well

I'm always there but you forget
When some good time leads you astray
But when I tire of your happiness
I'll get into the things you say

I see my work is never done
You're always searching for the one
Who' ll set you free
