This is an expedition
Into the Arctic (Tundra)
This is a sickening mission, yeah
Just to spoil and (plunder)

That's the sound of another door shutting in
In the face of progress, in the face of progress
They'll plant their flags in the seabed (in the seabed)
Shackleton is rolling in his grave
That's the sound of another door shutting in
In the face of progress, in the face of progress
They'll plant their flags in the seabed (in the seabed)
Shackleton is rolling in his grave

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all addicted to the most abusive
And destructive drug of all time
And I ain't talking about Class A's
That business is minuscule when compared
And just like any addict desperate to get his next fix
We resort to petty crimes to secure our next hit

Yeah

You know there's oil in the (ice)
You know there's oil in my (eyes)
You know there's blood on my (hands)

Yeah, we're all addicted
Yeah, we're all dependent

(That's a maniac standpoint)
(Psychotic outlook)
(That's a maniac standpoint)
(Psychotic outlook)

That's the sound of another door shutting in
In the face of progress, in the face of progress
They'll plant their flags in the seabed
Shackleton is rolling in his grave
That's the sound of another door shutting in
In the face of progress, in the face of progress
They'll plant their flags in the seabed
Shackleton is rolling in his grave

So, lemme get this straight, as we witness the ice caps melt
Instead of being spurred into changing our ways
We're gonna invest into military hardware
To fight for the remaining oil that's left beneath the ice?

But what happens when it's all gone?
You haven't thought this through, have you, boys?

(Okay)
(We'll take you down)
(We'll take you down)
(We'll take you down)

(Stand your ground)

You know there's oil in the (ice)
You know there's oil in my (eyes)
You know there's blood on my (hands)
Yeah, we're all addicted
Yeah, we're all dependent

(That's a maniac standpoint)
(Psychotic outlook)
(That's a maniac standpoint)

Yeah, back to the drawing board, boys
Accept nothing short of complete reversal
