Municipal Waste - The Thing lyrics

Antarctica, Winter, 1982
Research was going steady and there
Was nothing much to do
In the distance a lone wolf flees
But no one knows the carnage
That this animal will bring

Violence unfolds
Assaulted by Norwegian guests they'll have to
Die like all the rest searching through snow
Discovering the frozen corpse of something
That's not of this earth
The creature comes forth
An evil makes it's presence known
Attempting to create a clone nowhere to go
And something grim is at hand
Somewhere in this arctic land

The Thing
No one knows the hell it will bring
It's got you from the inside
It's taking over your life
Intentions so unexplained
Until it gets a hold of your brain
Hiding 'til the damage is done
Kill 'em off one by one

The sense of fear begins to grow
And no one has protection
From this dangerous infection
Their fates in the hands of the unknown
And nerves are quickly blowing while
The Thing is steadily growing

The Thing
No one knows the hell it will bring
It's got you from the inside
It's taking over your life
Intentions so unexplained
Until it gets a hold of your brain
Hiding 'til the damage is done
Kill 'em off one by one

Who to trust they'll never know
And nothing can contain a
Creature of the unexplained
Half the crew's dead, more to go
Somehow it's got to stop and
Now McReady's getting pissed off
Now there's nothing left to do
Discovering who's human is what this
Final test will prove
Deadly results are what this test brings
But, it's the final hope to
Unveil this gruesome being

Violence unfolds the test was the solution
Now it's time for execution
Searching through snow
And Blair's the last Thing left
He'll fight until his dying breath
The creature comes forth
But this will be the final clash
Kills it with a giant blast nowhere to go
Our hero's fate is finally sealed, after all
The Thing is killed
