"...as Arctic sea ice melts, polar bears are finding it harder to hunt and breed."

(Hah! Grr-kha, tuh-kuh, hah-uhh, eh-hng
Grr-kha, tuh-kuh, hah-uhh, eh-hng, Hah!
Grrr… huh! Hah! Kha-kha-hng-hah
Grr-kha, tuh-kuh, hah-uhh, eh-hng, Hah!)

[Verse 1]  
Glacier-born, tide-carved  
silent as the ice, swift as hunger  
once you ruled this frozen kingdom  
paws like thunder, breath like mist

but the ice-  
it groaned, it cracked, it ran  
like water through your claws

[Pre-Chorus]  
And you swam, you swam,  
you swam for days- 
leaner, slower,  
chasing ghosts in an endless gray

[Chorus]  
White king, nowhere to go  
drifting farther on the melt and the flow  
White king, lost in the tide  
The cold once held you, now it throws you aside

[Verse 2]  
Where once you stalked  
the seal’s soft breath in frozen black  
now you sift through rust and rot  
oil-slicked tides, the scent of loss

plastic bones, iron teeth  
broken glass beneath your feet

(Hah! Grr-kha, tuh-kuh, hah-uhh, eh-hng
Grrr… huh! Hah! Kha-kha-hng-hah)

[Pre-Chorus]  
Still you walk, you walk  
through the waste  
something ancient in your bones  
but time won’t wait

[Chorus]  
White king, nowhere to go  
drifting farther on the melt and the flow  
White king, lost in the tide  
where the cold once held you, now it won’t abide

[Bridge]  
They carved your kingdom into maps  
drew their lines, then let it crack  
now your throne is on the open sea  
just hunger and memory  
Just hunger
Hunger and…
Memory
Of what use to be

[Chorus]  
White king, nowhere to go  
drifting farther on the melt and the flow
(Hah! Grr-kha, tuh-kuh, hah-uhh, eh-hng) 
White king, lost in the tide  
where the cold once held you, now it won’t abide
(Grrr… huh! Hah! Kha-kha-hng-hah)
Lost and brushed aside you carry on
I hope you endure, and I don’t awaken to find…
You’re gone

[Outro]  
Drifting, drifting-  
snow turns to water,  
ice turns to waves,  
you swim, you swim-  
but there’s nowhere left to stay.
