lyrics

A frozen tundra sounds harsh….but the thawed tundra is harsher

A glacier’s crust is hard….but a melting glacier’s harder

The bitter cold is sad….but the warming winter’s sadder

The midnight sun might drive you mad….but extinctions should make you madder

Chorus: Brother, sister….where did the ice go?

We don’t see why it matters, from our speck on the earth

Brother, sister….where did the ice go?

We won’t know until it’s gone what it was all worth


Pretending this is no big deal — makes us a great pretender

The rising heat makes mockery of our toil for the legal tender

Religious doctrine urged us all to go on this blind bender

The earth we leave our children comes back marked “return to sender” (Chorus) (Bridge)

Bridge:

We roll, roll, roll, rolled the dice….and now in hindsight we think
twice

Creating jobs a poor excuse for turning our blind eyes

We fear, fear, fear, fear what we’ve done….it hardly seems that
we have won

We face all of the evidence with our exhausted sighs. (Chorus;
fini)
