NASA recently revealed that huge chunks of Antarctica are melting and it is unstoppable. We must wake up and change our fossil fuel addiction before we destroy any hope of maintaining a habitable planet. Simple first orchestral attempt

Story behind the song

After writing Arctic Emergency NASA announced that Antarctica is also in deep trouble as several large ice sheets are irreverably doomed.  I wrote this "Lament" to our huge stabilizing force down under... it makes me cry.  Recently I got Albion and applied my budding orchestral attempts to emotionalize this song.

Lyrics

Antarctic Lament
The Antarctic ice mountains are headed to sea
Oceans 20 feet higher where most people be
Our fossil fuel companies are killing the land
billions will die and I don't understand

And the Arctic is melting too, sorry to say
if we don't stop them they'll make it that way
And if it all goes away the ocean's will rise
flooding our planet...our total demise...

How can we be letting this happen
Why we don't demand the big change
The sun shines all day up above us
It's so easy we can make the change
we have the means to rearrange (everything...)

No one talks about... it's happened before
300 feet higher the oceans did roar
for millions of years air was toxic to breathe (like venus)
and yet for the money we'll risk it all risk it all risk it all.......(greed)

If we stand up and stop this we'll be happy,
building solar to go on each roof... (everywhere)
full employment's an option that's waiting (for everyone)
sweet windmills and electric cars too
there's so much more we can do... (it's true!)

Instead we are letting them blunder,
destroying our future to plunder
mass murdering planet wide “genocide” 
it's something we shouldn't hide from (it's "genocide")
no, I think it's something we need to talk about 
("fossil fuel genocide")
 it's something we can't ignore any more 
cause the sun's up above for us to turn this around
As the Antarctic Ice mountains are headed to sea
And the Arctic and Greenland are melting too
while fossil fuel companies are raking it in
and don't seem to care that it means the end to me and you
