Strait of White Teeth

[Verse 1]
Ice breaks under black hulls
They crawl in through the fog
White backs on the water
Blood-red spray on the dock
The strait bites hard
And the sky goes low
The first ship turns
Then the shells start to glow

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that roar
On the frozen lane
Hooves on steel
Like a loaded train
Hold the line
Don’t let them through
Every wave
Comes back for you

[Chorus]
Hold the strait
Hold the strait
White jaws close
White jaws close
Hold the strait
Hold the strait
Sink them deep
Sink them low (sink them low)

[Verse 2]
Polar bears crash the bow rail
Claws on rusted steel
They drag men under
With a savage, silent reel
Searchlights cut the foam
But the ice won’t fold
The warships shudder
In the throat of the cold

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that roar
On the frozen lane
Hooves on steel
Like a loaded train
Hold the line
Don’t let them through
Every wave
Comes back for you

[Chorus]
Hold the strait
Hold the strait
White jaws close
White jaws close
Hold the strait
Hold the strait
Sink them deep
Sink them low (sink them low)

[Bridge]
On the shore he stands
Jump jet king
Gloved hand raised
Watching everything
No scream, no prayer
Just a steady stare
As the north wind
Tears through the air

[Final Chorus]
Hold the strait
Hold the strait
White jaws close
White jaws close
Hold the strait
Hold the strait
Take the lane
Take the throat (take the throat)
