Song of the Ice
It’s a good old song,
it’s the song of the ice.
We can all sing along,
you can sing along too.
But the melt has come
in the heat of the night
in the land of the midnight sun.
Just the same old seas,
in the land of the ice.
For a few more degrees
you can sing along too.
Warm seas have come
like a thief in the night
in the land of the midnight sun.
It’s the same old song
of the days of the ice.
That soon will be gone,
you can sing along too.
Twilight has come
to the days of the ice
in the land of the midnight sun.
