[Verse 1]
The closer to the poles of the Earth you go
Or ascend heights, the temperature turns low
Ten thousand years ago, the world was colder than it is today
Britain immersed in snow
Glaciation changed the face of the countryside
To become more like the Earth we know
Working slowly, giant hunks of ice
Cut and slide then push aside tons of stone
Signs say at the time of the ice age
A third of the Earth's surface totally snowed over
Then the Fahrenheit rose, polar caps and ice flows
Capsized, and shrank in size loads
Today the only glaciers remain
On high latitudes or low altitude terrain
So though only a tenth of the globe's glaciated
There's occassional formations close the the equator
See the way that they're made in this how-to guide
Snowflakes accumulate in mountainsides
The weight creates pressure
Making a firm and dense substance that's termed by the name of firn
If the ice stays frozen as snow falls
Then it snowballs, grows and grows more
And as the mass increases
Gradually gravity grabs massive pieces and releases them
Woe betide anything in the way
As they slowly slide lower and erode it away
With an amazing grace
Glaciers patiently changed the landscape on a grand scale
The closer to the poles of the Earth you go
Or ascend heights, the temperature turns low
Ten thousand years ago, the world was colder than it is today
Britain immersed in snow
Glaciation changed the face of the countryside
To become more like the Earth we know
Working slowly, giant hunks of ice
Cut and slide then push aside tons of stone
Signs say at the time of the ice age
A third of the Earth's surface totally snowed over
Then the Fahrenheit rose, polar caps and ice flows
Capsized, and shrank in size loads
Today the only glaciers remain
On high latitudes or low altitude terrain
So though only a tenth of the globe's glaciated
There's occassional formations close the the equator
See the way that they're made in this how-to guide
Snowflakes accumulate in mountainsides
The weight creates pressure
Making a firm and dense substance that's termed by the name of firn
If the ice stays frozen as snow falls
Then it snowballs, grows and grows more
And as the mass increases
Gradually gravity grabs massive pieces and releases them
Woe betide anything in the way
As they slowly slide lower and erode it away
With an amazing grace
Glaciers patiently changed the landscape on a grand scale
