Frolicking through the Tundra, Ursus enjoys the bounty offered by the seal-rich arctic waters that have nourished ursine kind for countless millennia.
Wandering through the snow, the primal protagonist happens upon humans clad in white and bearing banners of burgundy. Or were they wearing red?
Curious, our carnivorous cub approaches them but before he knows it, Ursus is bound in chains, forced into a box, and whisked away from his burly brothers in the wintry north.
Desperate, the wiley whelp flails to and fro only to find more of his bipedal overseers binding steel with his flesh and bone. With a final cry, the youngling submits and accepts his new existence and purpose in armor... as Ursus Armatus.
lyrics
Eyes wide open
Endless nights and days of snow
White plains surround me
And They're hiding the darkness below
Pristine, once pure and true
What once were many are now a few
And I face this burden alone
Frozen in the ice and stone
I’m betrayed and blinded from truth
They’ve enslaved and stolen my youth
A soul unbroken
Buried in steel; wires fused to bone
Words left unspoken
Night after night I'm dreaming of home
And still my heart holds true
One day my brothers, I will return to you.
Far away from ice and snow
Taken to lands unknown
I’m betrayed and blinded from truth
They’ve enslaved and stolen my youth
Far away from ice and snow
Taken to lands unknown
I’m betrayed and blinded from truth
They’ve enslaved and stolen my youth
Will I be free to wander again?
And one day return to my kin?
There is one thing I know for sure
No these masters they won’t take my soul
