How could I,
have led these men to their demise,
and they just follow?
Exploration's last great prize,
it wasn't mine.
CHORUS:
and mores the shame
you will remember my name
Great god,
this is an awful place,
and I do not think that we can hope,
for any better things now,
oh the end,
cannot be far,
it cannot be far,
I cannot wait.
Explorations last great prize,
a saving grace,
it wasn't mine
have led these men to their demise,
and they just follow?
Exploration's last great prize,
it wasn't mine.
CHORUS:
and mores the shame
you will remember my name
Great god,
this is an awful place,
and I do not think that we can hope,
for any better things now,
oh the end,
cannot be far,
it cannot be far,
I cannot wait.
Explorations last great prize,
a saving grace,
it wasn't mine

The line(s) "Great God this is an awful place..." are taken directly from Scott's diary of the events which was found some time after his demise.
The 'story' of Roald Amundsen, who beat Scott to be the first to make it to the Pole, is reflected in the iLiKETRAiNS song 'No Military Parade".
It was called the Terra Nova expedition.
