The Legend of Thule

Far beyond the land of ice,

Where dragons haunt the skies,

Over the rainbow bridge

Lies the realm of Thule

Where the ice crown thaws

And the song of birds

Resounds from the polar pit –

There my heart shall forever be!

On the wings of the dragon

By the magic of old,

Where legends become real:

There, in the caverns of Thule!

The hidden sun shines upon

The hills beneath the hills –

Oceans church unseen

At the end of the arctic sea!

Spells imprison the light

In crystalline towers high –

Citadels of primordial stone

Guarded by the Hyperborean battle gods!

On the wings of the dragon

By the magic of old,

Where legends become real:

There, in the caverns of Thule!

And when the seal of ice doth break

And the mighty icebergs melt into the sea

Then the gates of Thule shall yawn wide

And the pale legions of death march forth

To conquer with steel and a fire that freeze

The corrupt and fallen world of mortal men…
