*** Nordic Discord Challenge, w. 25. Theme: Dark Satire. Genre: Ska

This song is a satire pointed at the Nordic countries (also Greenland). Each country has a verse dedicated to them. The song was a lot of fun to make, but also felt a bit awkward. I love the Nordics and the Nordic culture, but I don’t think you can criticize other countries if you can’t admit the less flattering sides of your own home. ***

[Intro]  
Northern halo, corporate glow—  
kiss the ice, mind the cashflow.

[Verse 1 – NORWAY]  
Peace-prize grin,  
oil-rig sin.  
Tesla monks,  
crude-stained punks.  
Fjord-blue ad,  
black-gold pad.  
Preach, then drill—  
holy spill.

[Pre-Chorus]  
“GREEN! MEANS! GREED!”

[Chorus]  
God save the snow,  
whitewash the show.  
No future, no future,  no future for North!

[Verse 2 – DENMARK]  
Craft-beer crown,  
drawbridge down.  
Hygge light,  
border tight.  
Mermaid waves,  
still-born saves.  
Smiles for sale,  
naïve mail.

“LE-GO! LET GO!”

”LET GO! LET GO!”

”LET GO!”

[Verse 3 – FINLAND]  
Sauna steam,  
silent scream.  
Happiness chart,  
razor-part.  
Sisu brag,  
body bag.  
Snowy grin,  
pills within.

[Bridge]  
Snow can’t cover the choke-hold blues—  
export guilt, import excuse.

[Verse 4 – SWEDEN]  
Flat-pack pride,  
rifles slide.  
Rainbow brand,  
bloody hand.  
Nobel glow,  
ammo flow.  
Dance, ABBA,  
burn, suburbia.

“NO FUTURE! NO FUTURE!”

[Chorus]  
God save the snow,  
halo for show.  
No future, no future,  
no future—WE KNOW!

[Verse 5 – ICELAND]  
Glacier gin,  
crypto grin.  
Elf-law teeth,  
bank beneath.  
Saga stream,  
tourist dream.  
Lava cleanse,  
debt amends.

[Chorus]  
God save the snow,  
halo for show.  
No future, no future,  
no future—WE KNOW!

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 6]
Ice-sheet cracks,  
rare-earth stacks.  
Tanbreez drill,  
sovereign will.  
Votes drift slow,  
crown’s still glow.  
Pituffik beams,  
Trump-land dreams.  
King waves flag,  
Yankee bag.  
All that cold—  
already sold.

“BUY!  BUY!  BYE!”

[Final Chorus]
God save the snow,  
halo for show.  
No future, no future,  
no future—WE KNOW!

[Outro]
“MELT!  MELT!  MELT!”

“Thank you for flying Arctic Airways—  
please collect your climate guilt at baggage claim.”
