Charlie Bookout Studio Works - Antarctica Lyrics

I think I'm ready for the clouds to break, the snow to begin
So I'll have an excuse to fall and wait for the end

Welcome to Antarctica

It was August in the Year of the Sun
The streets were blistering and starting to run
It was strange to know that winter was gone
When I awoke to find the snow and ice on the lawn
The first to freeze to death were the birds in the eaves
And in the silence they were followed by the leaves
Now the moonlight turns night into day
My lips and tongue are far too frozen to pray

To Antarctica the world has turned (I know the reasons)
For the wheel of fire long I have yearned
If it doesn't kill me, what will I do? (There are no more seasons)
How will I ever forget about you?

(Well -) I know the reasons there are no more seasons

Scream little children while we drink your tears
Or let them turn to icicles like all your years
Scream while you watch us throw away what you've said
Now we try to make you happy only after you're dead
Scream, O mighty falcon, while we shoot your mate
You were born of freedom, we are made of hate
Scream grandfather, you must do your time
You are banished to Antarctica for all your crimes

I know the reasons (well -)

To Antarctica the world has turned
Here I am but what have I learned?
What more can I put myself through? (I know the reasons)
How will I ever forget about you?

How will I ever forget about you? (well -)

I know the reasons there are no more seasons

Scream little children while we drink your tears
Or let them turn to icicles like all your years
Scream grandfather, you must do your time
Now you're banished to Antarctica for all your crimes

(Well -)

For all your crimes

(Well -)

To Antarctica the world has turned (I know the reasons)
For the wheel of fire long I have yearned
If it doesn't kill me, what will I do? (There are no more seasons)
How will I ever forget about you?

How will I ever forget about you?

(Well -)
