lirik lagu shane pendergast - ice locked
[chorus]
ice locked again
this newfound province
what of the promise
to forge an artery of trade
[verse 1]
we fought it off
for many years
the small under the great
but this railroad debt has offered us no choice
we’re forced to throw away our independence and our voice
[refrain]
steel~hulled stanley has been dented
the albert and the minto long prevented
neither neptune nor the northеrn light
can make the treachеrous plight
across the frozen strait
in the dead of wintertime
[refrain]
steel~hulled stanley has been dented
the albert and the minto long prevented
no travellers or trading
for landsdowne cannot sail
we’ll send the men on iceboat
so at least we’ll have the mail
[chorus]
ice~locked again
this newfound province
what of the promise
to forge an artery of trade
[verse 2]
so howlan rose
to state his case
before the upper house
we must fulfill the union terms at last
and never be imprisoned in the future as the past
[verse 3]
a tunnel deep
beneath the straits
will make our promise true
a railroad capsuled in cement and iron
stretching out across the seafloor from traverse to tormentine
[refrain]
steel~hulled stanley has been dented
the albert and the minto long prevented
neither neptune nor the northern light
can make the treacherous plight
across the frozen strait
in the dead of wintertime
[refrain]
steel~hulled stanley has been dented
the albert and the minto long prevented
no travellers or trading
for landsdowne cannot sail
we’ll send the men on iceboat
so at least we’ll have the mail
[chorus]
ice locked again
this newfound province
what of the promise
to forge an artery of trade
[verse 4]
in parliament
and parlour jest
the quarrel liveth on
to take the side of passage or protection
to stay the course or steam toward an unknown direction
[outro]
blueprints and dreams
of howlan’s tunnel
have sunk beneath the waves
while high above a fixed link in the strait
looks out with exultation at the small under the great
looks out with exultation at the small under the great
ice locked again
