Song Lyrics

If you take a gram of water
And apply one calorie of heat to it
You will raise its temperature by one degree Celsius
But you need to apply eighty-one calories to ice
Simply to change it to water at zero degrees Celsius
The latent heat of change of state of ice to water
Uses eighty-one times more available heat
Than rising the temperature of water one degree
Once all the ice is melted
The once covered ice area will heat up eighty-one times faster
There will be no stopping it
A new steady state of high heat tolerant might mean
Hopefully, rapidly evolve
But human civilization as we know it will no longer exist
'Cause Gaia like it cold
'Cause Gaia like it cold
'Cause Gaia like it cold

The loss of ice cover will catapult our climate
Into an uncharted, apocalyptic era of rapid heating
There will be no stopping it
