Blooming in Antarctica Lyrics


There is a debt, that we've burned through the century

the carbon reaper set free

Consuming all, driving life to extinction

a thriving land now devoid

it will consume, arctic surfaces break down

transforming glaciers to brine

Our heaving lungs choking down poison fumigation

1 billion tonnes to exhaust

Compounding heat leaching down to the phytoplankton

The biosphere will dissolve

The great machine sucks life from the planet’s veins

spitting filth in the sky

Unable to support life, broken ecosystem

a curse on us for all time

Deafened ears resist the call for a real solution

hundreds of species destroyed

Ice cracks

Run waters black

Into the sea

Sprout these seeds

Arbiter, floral harbinger

Liquescent impermafrost heralds our collective cost

Arbiter, floral harbinger

unisocial asphyxia while flowers bloom in antarctica

There is a debt, that will burn for a century

What must we give up to pay?

the syndicate of lies, inherit corruption

by their guidance: deceased

Ice cracks

Run waters black

Into the sea

Sprout these seeds

Arbiter, floral harbinger

Liquescent impermafrost heralds our collective cost

Arbiter, floral harbinger

unisocial asphyxia, while flowers bloom in antarctica
