Beneath the Icy Veil

In the cold, relentless Antarctic night

The Nautilus ventures, its course set tight

Through frozen waters, past towering walls

Captain Nemo leads where no man calls

Farther south than any dared to roam

Where the ice and sea make a deadly home

The crew shivers as the tempers fall

Yet in the desolation, they hear his call

In this barren land, where the sun won't rise

The world is a maze of ice-bound ties

The sea a mirror, reflecting their fate

As they push towards the pole, too late to wait

With every breath, the pressure grows

The walls of ice begin to close

But Captain Nemo, undeterred and bold

Drives on through the perilous, unforgiving cold

Trapped beneath the icy veil

The Nautilus caught, no way to sail

The air grows thin, the fear sets in

As death looms near in the frigid spin

Panic rises, hearts beat fast

Will this breath be their last

In frozen silence, hope seems frail

Trapped beneath the icy veil

But Nemo's eyes hold a steely glare

In the face of doom, he does not despair

A plan takes shape, a desperate fight

To break through the ice, to reach the light

The crew, with trembling hands and minds

Works through the fear that tightly binds

Every resource, every bit of might

Poured into breaking free from night

The engines roar, the steel protests

The Nautilus groans but never rests

With all their strength, they push and tear

Through the ice that holds them in its snare

The moments stretch, the minutes die

But through the cracks, they see the sky

And with a final, mighty thrust

They break the surface, air in their lungs at last

Trapped beneath the icy veil

The Nautilus caught, no way to sail

The air grows thin, the fear sets in

As death looms near in the frigid spin

But through the struggle, through the pain

They rise again, they breathe again

No longer trapped, they tell the tale

Of breaking through the icy veil

In the heart of the Antarctic's might

They felt the world's unyielding fight

Yet Nemo's will, and the crew's resolve

Saw them through the icy sprawl

They learned the sea's most brutal truth

In the harsh and endless pursuit

The elements rule, despite man's claim

But bravery and grit can stake a name
