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 the snow
 Discovering the frozen corpse
 Of something that's not of this earth
 The [bad word] forth
 An evil makes its presence known
 Attempting to create a clone
 Nowhere to go
 And something grim is at hand
 Something in this artic land

 The Thing
 No one knows the [bad word] 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 till the damage is done
 Killing them off one by one
 The sense of fear begins to grow
 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
 Whom to [bad word] they'll never know
 And nothing can contain
 creature unexplained
 Half the crews dead more to go
 Somehow it's got to stop
 And now McReadys getting [bad word] 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 his [bad word] being
 Violence unfolds
 The test was the solution
 Now its time for execution
 Searching through the snow
 And now Blair is the last Thing left
 He'll fight until his dying breath
 The [bad word] forth
 But this will be the final clash
 And kills it with a giant blast
 Nowhere to go
 Our hero's fate is finally sealed
 The camp is lost The Thing is killed (or is it?)
