Arctic sunrise may never be quite the same

Gazprom what a power base a seat of energy
out there in the Pechora Sea The Arctic Sunrise grows
lights the mornings with its passion
everybody knows

the Russian SAS were called
knives and guns they brought
arrested all the Greenpeace crew
and rapidly did escort

them off the Prirazolomnaya rig
drilling for new oil
alongside their Dutch partners
all their hands did soil

Greenpeace sent its angels
protection was their realm
not destruction of a pristine place
with Gazprom at the helm

let them languish in some jail
let them swallow fear
lets them realise what they’ve done
till its very clear

they meddled in a serious place
and they are going to pay
the Russians did the dirty
and now there is no way

they have to wait for the prosecuter
to build his case and show
that green pretestors are pirates
and thus they all must go

into jail for 15 years
and all who come will be
given the same treatment
for all eternity

energy is what we need
the arctic waste may be
will suffer at the hands of BIg Oil
but no one else can see

the oil may wash and scourge
the earth and the arctic may be lost
but Russia believes its more important
to get oil at all cost

the environments the sea creatures
are a waste of time
the angels as we call them
they are just green slime

they can stay there rotting
in the Murmansk jail
they soon will be forgotten
though thats a sorry tale

thats the world we live in
within weeks your not news
we have to make activists pay
we have to turn the screws

Energy and Royal Dutch Shell
all of them are sad
psyopathic corporates
most of them are mad

they do not have a tiny bit of compassion
in their heart
their only care is profit
and when its going to start

Greenpeace sent its angels
into the jaws of Hell
the clouds were black with anger
into this mist they fell

the darkness was soon with them
it filled their being they
were left to languish in dire fear
until this very day

Putin he’s the president
Pirates they were not
but despite that they are all locked up
Murmansk has gone and got

some crooked lawyers who will charge
the corporate dialogue
Greenpeace were the angels
on the worlds true log

we do salute their courage
and we shall not forget
more arctic sunrises will sail
be sure of that and set

for the great Arctic wastelands
pristine through and through
if anyone’s a pirate Gazprom
its the lot of you
