[Verse 1]
Up in the Arctic where the cold winds blow
Canada's building strength from ice to snow
Modern forces ready for the northern call
Infrastructure rising where the glaciers fall
Rangers on patrol with eyes so keen
Watching over lands few have ever seen
[Chorus]
Strong and steady in the Arctic zone
Modern forces make the North our own
Sustain and maintain through the endless night
Technology and training make it right
M-S-T, that's our Arctic key
Modernize, Sustain, Technology
[Verse 2]
Fuel and supplies across the frozen ground
Logistics chains where silence is the sound
Heating systems when it's forty below
Communication links through ice and snow
Every snowmobile and shelter planned
To keep our guardians safe across this land
[Chorus]
Strong and steady in the Arctic zone
Modern forces make the North our own
Sustain and maintain through the endless night
Technology and training make it right
M-S-T, that's our Arctic key
Modernize, Sustain, Technology
[Bridge]
Satellites above and sensors down below
Radar sweeping wide through Arctic glow
Persistent presence through the polar night
Canadian sovereignty burning bright
[Verse 3]
Aircraft carriers can't break through the ice
So we build our strength with different devices
All-terrain vehicles, snow-capable gear
Ready for duty throughout the year
From Yukon borders to the Beaufort Sea
Arctic force posture keeps Canada free
[Chorus]
Strong and steady in the Arctic zone
Modern forces make the North our own
Sustain and maintain through the endless night
Technology and training make it right
M-S-T, that's our Arctic key
Modernize, Sustain, Technology
[Outro]
In the land of midnight sun and endless winter
Canada's Arctic forces never splinter
Strong defense from coast to coast to coast
Protecting what we value most
