| Nothing will be as before
|
| We can now see it
|
| With fascination and horror
|
| The city of the ancient spirit
|
| An infamous architecture
|
| A Cyclopean monument
|
| A non-Euclidean structure
|
| Looks to us like an unspeakable giant
|
| We are cursed
|
| We are cursed
|
| Study each sculpture on these cold walls
|
| We understand your past existence
|
| Your prosperity between these icefalls
|
| Your greatness and quintessence
|
| You created slaves, the shoggoths, powerful and abject
|
| But slaves wanted to become masters, and of your fall they were the architect
|
| Shapeless beings, screaming like birds of Poe
|
| Now only masters of the snow
|
| Resistant to the freezing cold of Antarctica
|
| They haunt the dark Babylonia
|
| L’horreur liée à nos découvertes ne nous arrêta pas dans notre quête de savoir.
|
| Pourtant nous avions compris que ces connaissances pouvaient amener l’Homme à
|
| sa perte, à sa chute. |
| Nous avançons encore et encore au sein de cette
|
| innommable cité cyclopéenne. |
| Les choses très anciennes avaient succombées au
|
| froid du désert blanc, mais pas leur création. |
| Abomination informe mais
|
| polymorphe, nous entendons son cri aigu et détestable se rapprocher,
|
| comme un avertissement, présageant notre rencontre imminente et inévitable
|
| The creature is in front of me, oozing and spongy, countless eyes searching in
|
| the dark
|
| Filthy ancestral horror
|
| Dragging his vile body, like in a slow agony, it comes to us, leaving behind
|
| its sticky mark
|
| Of our souls the infamous killer
|
| Traversant ce dédale de couloirs impies, nous fuyons cette ineffable vision.
|
| Nous arrivons enfin à échapper à la détestable créature, nos corps saufs,
|
| mais nos âmes meurtries
|
| From our plane, we can see one last time the cursed city
|
| Danforth’s crazy howls surround me, one last vision forever taking his sanity
|
| Today I ask the world not to come back to this place of melancholia
|
| For our salvation, no expedition should return to Antarctica
|
| Never! |
