Schwa Lyrics

Arctic Song

Lyricist: Dave Katz / Noah Torch
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Up on the cold icy landscape in nowhere
Where the wind chills a man down to his soul
Peaceful surroundings are bursting with silence
Another iceberg is trapped in the flow
Men in tuxedos across the horizon
Looking so sharp from their heads to their toes
Diving for food in the depths of the waters
Back to the group where their young's growing old

The sounds of barking fill the air, from the distance comes the final terror
Swiftly moving through the night, to make the strike by morning light
On the sled there stands a man, who'll do all the damage that he can do
Animals become the prey, runaway

Four miles from home when he reaches the hunting ground
Quick, Mr. Seal, make your tracks in the snow
Faster and faster they head to the shoreline
Barking the notes of a song they all know
Fire in his eyes as he raises his spear to the sky
Rush to the water, the bull is the last to go
Takes careful aim as he screams out his battle cry
Quick, Mr. Seal, make your tracks in the snow

An arrow drifting through the air, in his heart he feels the growing terror
Vainly running for his life, a victim of the faithful strife
The calling of life's destiny, a man must do all that he can do
Animals become the prey, runaway
