From the first light ray
to the midnight clear
can we carve a way
through this white frontier

Verse 1

How the frostbite mangles, blackened fingers all
Sailors round their candles,share a bitter thrall
Grasp your boots and shovels, hundred miles or so
Teeth rattle like raindrops, on and on it goes

Chorus

From the first light ray 
To the midnight clear
Can we carve a way
Through this white frontier

Verse 2

Some, we send you westward, marching toward the sun
Some into the southland, where the rivers run
Maybe somewhere eastern, Moscow can't be far
Bring us back some hope boys, lest we cross the bar

Chorus

From the first light ray 
To the midnight clear
Can we carve a way
Through this white frontier

Bridge

Now the water has turned
should've left with the birds
as the ice advances

Verse 3

Heaven, when they find us, angels at our ease
Left behind our statues on the frozen seas
Once a shapely vessel, now a charnel house
Drag us back to England, lay our bodies down

Chorus

Will they ever know
Of our last goodbye
In the cold and dark
Of the crushing ice
From the first light ray
To the midnight clear
When we fought with God
Through this white frontier
