Bull, Dan - Frostpunk Lyrics
[Dan Bull:]
I still remember the day the frost descended
It was the end of empty threats
From a God who must have meant it
We must have crossed a deity whom our greed and lust offended
The biting chill swept across the lofty life we'd built
'Til mighty buildings were left crushed to look like tiny hills
The frost lifted up the rock exposing all society's ills
Those we tried not to think about for what we might reveal
We set a course and travelled forth to grab resources
From the shrapnel of oil tankers and man of war ships
Battle forces we hadn't planned to have a war with at all before
But now we have a lack of choice
This is the new reality, a gloomy anarchy looming
Can't say I feel proud, this doesn't warrant vanity
The looking glass is frosted over and we cannot see
So we place our faith and hope and dreams in smoke and steam
I mean, why would we go to those extremes if we don't believe
So hunker down and dig in for the coldest winter tide
Since you convinced your prideful self that you've nothing to hide
[The Stupendium:]
The wheels of progress frozen motionless
Unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes
Then death is coming home
The wheels of progress frozen motionless
Unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes
Well then we're going home
[Dan Bull:]
Ever since the first of us huddled round the fire
With nothing to hide, but animal hides as attire
Our entire world was centred and dependent on supplies of carbon
The new oxygen that we require to respire
We pampered life's complexities, manufactured luxuries
While suffocating nature's lungs when we cut the trees
Now our comeuppance seems to be to huddle round the fire
With everything to hide and animal hides as attire
What goes around will come around, whatever's underground
Will come up now you're not expecting it and damn well hunt you down
So hunker down and dig in for the coldest winter tide
Since you convinced your prideful self that you've nothing to hide
[The Stupendium:]
The wheels of progress frozen motionless
Unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes
Then death is coming home
The wheels of progress frozen motionless
Unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes
Well then we're going home
[Dan Bull:]
Our stomachs are the furnaces, our open throats the chimney
Our hearts the flowing pumps that need the bellow lungs to bring heat
But our brittle bodies are a pitiful device
Trying to subsist upon a trickle of supplies
With the vittles diminishing I don't think it will suffice
Although species evolve quicker when it's difficult to thrive
But that theory isn't something that always applies
Deprive us enough, we'll suffer our inevitable demise
We are each expendable but the city must survive
It's just a pleasant bonus if it keeps us alive
So hunker down and dig in for the coldest winter tide
Since you convinced your prideful self that you've nothing to hide
[The Stupendium:]
The wheels of progress frozen motionless
Unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes
Then death is coming home
The wheels of progress frozen motionless
Unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes
Well then we're going home

Bull, Dan Frostpunk Comments
The Wheels of Progress is sure Forzen at the most AAA games companies cause ya need a non AAA to get these!!!
So, because of [REDACTED] event, Britain turned into Russia? Neat.
OK THAT BURN AT THE END WAS A LITTLE UNCALLED FOR!
England : we will all die in this endless winter
Russia and Canada: hahahahahahahahahah weaklings
So this is what Russia looks like during winter..
I swear these frostpunk songs are a time line. This one, then "Shelter from the Storm", then "Faith vs. Order"
What,s funny to me is the fact that allmost evry song,s from youtuber,s sound better then most ppl on the radio
When the only heat comes from these beats
I can say the second one is just as epic if not even better
666 comments? Hate to ruin the number but I got to say this song gave me chiiillllsss (pun not intended) that beat was sick and your lines are awesome, thanks man.
Ah, so its just an average day in Russia
Mmm. Them 808s tho
Ah, coming back here after the new rap battle reminds me of the good time where we couldn't see too much of the rivalry.
Now though, It's time to crush the heretics !
been singing this all day incredible work
This isnt just rap, its underrated poetry
best game and best song in the fucking world ! THE CITY MUST SURVIVE! <3
I don't know who's rapping they sound the same
Can you get that beat somewhere?
RAP is already bad enough to hear without some english twat going at it, but some doofus at 11 bit studio actually promoted this garbage!!! I was under the impression that this game would appeal to intellectuals... Steam punk fans and the likes, but i am seeing multiple RAP songs and reviews done by mouth breathing twats like this asshat who thought it was a GOOD IDEA to RAP to the intro.
RAP is already shit in itself but when some tea and biscuit fruitcake with a heavy english accent start going at it.... All i hear is some fat slob who likely still lives in mommy's basement trying to get some attention.
I live in the kind of neighborhood that has the kind of brothers who get bored when they run out of weed and just dummy people for fun or stand around Beat box and Rap all the time, i promise you NONE OF THEM sound like this tea and biscuit twat with ZERO EXPERIENCE outside of mommy's basement.
Hell i tell those fuckers RAP is for people with brain damage or poor self esteem but at least they have some level of skill when coming up with lyrics and do not sound like a butler with a serious identity crisis...
this flow is insane, trying to rap along is going take me a lot of times before I get it right
This song slaps hard.
"A pitiful device"
I loved that voice
That chorus hits hard in the best way possible
everyone here found the Stupendium from Dan...
I found DAN from THE STUPENDIUM.
Indeed.
what a twist
And then there's me, who found them separately and was legitimately excited to hear them collaborate.
"The wheels of progress frozen motionless, unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes then death is coming home"
This is my favorite part of the song, the song is full of great lyrical meaning, but this sentence takes the cake.
A super specialized society is brought to the brink of extinction and technological stagnation ("wheels of progress frozen motionless"), their previous lives ruled by super complicated technologies which only a very small minority understand ("unspoken spokes" are known, but not commonly taught technologies), and is expected to re-learn ("thaw all these unspoken spokes") everything to bring back just a smudge of hope for their survival ("unless we thaw all these unspoken spokes then death is coming home").
Absolutely brilliant, Dan! I love how much thought you put into every sentence of the lyrics. They fit perfectly into the context of the game, and they never stray from it! Unlike when a lot of rappers put two sentences into a verse with vastly different context, or repeat something multiple times, and miss the point of the rap completely, just because they rhyme and couldn't think of (or be arsed, in most cases of modern arrogant rappers) an alternative word or sentence that actually rhymes.
Now I have a second favorite song from your repertoire, first being the Civilization rap! Please, continue making great raps like these!
damn great analysis lol
Well, time to start the global warming again.
Why'd they make a game about one day in the GLORIOUS MOTHERLAND!
NYETTING INTENSIFIES
Ummm i know that england is in an winter that will last forever, but did this count for all of the planet?
When Stupendium sings, it makes me think that it's the Automatons singing that part.
Dan how do you want me to get in a cold atmosphere when you roast me like that?
But luckily I have this handy DAN BULL mug you can get it at itsdanbull.com/loot
T H A T S B O I L I N G
*Burns tongue*
In this game I’m a better cult leader then a dictator
and they say CO2 is bad.......................
I dare not actually call him Greg until I have permission, but there is no one I Stan harder than the Stupendium. Hardcore crush on his Nerdcore. I am tickled you dig him as much as he digs you. "It's a joy" has given me endless drug-free joy for months, and today this will join the playlist.
Now off to find why that man was intentionally frozen to death...
It's amazing already. All it needs is more bass and then it's an absolutely perfect song.
PC: downloads game at horrible speed
*THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS FROZEN MOTIONLESS*
Middle school be like
you earned a sub
I still tear up when I hear this song!
The lyrics just get me everytime.
I just puked... Are you that desperate for attention? You "tear up" when you hear this dumb fuck "song"? They have pills for that you know? ... sigh...
XD Really, Dan?! A "your mum" joke?! I laughed entirely too hard at that. I can't even be angry about it!
Ive made a grievious sin that im juusst now finding this
Bull, this is so awesome!!!! I love this collab. Choris and lyrics are great!
i looted so much carbon i became it
I've never even played or heard of this game but I love it some much! I also got a sort of steampunk vibe.
You’d think it would melt after a few decades. Unless the planet was thrown out of orbit
00:47 sounds "we hadent planed to have a war with a door before"
I love winter!
Roasted XD
Quite Brilliant song. I Listen to It. My Favorite Part of The Song is "The Wheel's Of Progress Frozen MOTIONLESSSS."
This is one of my favourites
I've heard most of your songs, many times over, but not many I've truly adored. Yet this one I always find myself returning to. There is something about it. It's just so incredible to listen to. The game was far from my favorite and despite that, this song always gives me the chills. I just wanted to say thank you.
there's nothing in the mug though
God damn it..i hate that i can do a damn good impression but can only rap 3/4 as fast..
What’s with the execution?
ey Bullboy, I love this rap, I used to see yer videos on my thing at times, never liked it,but this one ye really hit the soul of that game, AYE: rock on dude!
And i'm Norwegian and as I said on Stupendium's song: WE WILL SURVIVE; GODDAMNIT WE WILL. But then again we're used to like -20-40C for six months :P
love it dude, may I see ye to get ye a drink a day.
AMAZING! so catchy 9.9/10,And The Stupendium GREAT job on the chorus it was...stupendous! HAHAHAHAHAHA...(im not funny)
I loved this song and thought it was rather well done but, starting at 1:40 the pitch of your voice sounded a smidge gay and childish. I found that somewhat odd.
one of your best, holy shit
i frickin love this song
If this is your FIRST with Stupendium then HOLY HELL I'm looking forward to more from you both!!!
this is dope I like it!!! sub? 🤨
As a Canadian I must say, this "Winter," is looking pretty mild.
101 Londoners desliked
THA CITY MUST SURVIVE THXS DAN!
You are truly one of a kind bull. 😁
Best chorus of any song
It just goes with everything, the voice, the beat, the meaning of the song
I mean, FUCK
This song is awesome in a nutshell
Had a cup of tea with your mum
Pretty cool song.
This and the hellblade song's the absolute best Dan has ever made. Unlike most other songs, it doesn't involve alot of ingame names, places etc. It's just a song that sounds like it was orderd by the developers to be in the actual game itself, instead of a song made as a tribute to the games. While dan has other great songs as well, nothing makes me want to play the actual game as much as these two. Realyl hope for more of these kinds of songs.
I love the bromance going on between the stupendium and dan bull. it's great, they're both great, I love them.
THE CITY MUST SURVIVE!
Im sad i've found your channel just today , plenty of amazing content i love it :D
"The Wheels of progress frozen motionless"......Chills.... literal chills........
If only this would actually happen. I could really go for some snowboarding right now
Absolutely my proudest fap
This song Is so good I can't stop playing It!
I feel like this should be nominated to the best songs of 2018.
This songs great i enkoy writting story line for games as a hobby and ur music helps me make really epic scenes
just had to listen again'
Awesome
I love the ended just randomly, I needed to be cold so I had a cup of tea with your mum
I kinda prefer the one on Stupe’s channel.
Correction: I prefer that one a lot more
It's Coming Home.
i love it <3
What is this game like? I kinda want to play it just based off this rap.
Makes me wanna play the damn game.
3:53 Just had a cup of tea with your mom"'
My likes keep disapeering from all your vids dan
3:15. So... That was an execution. But what exactly happened?
Dan. My dude. Babe. Love. Sweetie. Cutie. Darling. Pal. Man. Dude. Acquaintance. Fellow male. Brother. Dawg. Boi. Mate. Bruv. Lad. Chum. Bud. Son. Dude. Can I get an Armored Core rap? Or Okami. Or Crypt of the Necrodancer. Ooh! Or Dead Cells! Or the Binding of Isaac. We need more indie representation on this channel. Also Armored Core is like the most underrated franchise ever. And Okami is gorgeous. That's all. And don't come at me with that oh I can't do Okami! Nintendo is full of Jews, crap! If you can do detective pikachu, you can do Okami! All jokes aside. These raps are phenomenal. I love the heavily stylistic ones. They're honestly the best of what this genre has to offer. So keep at it. I love you more than I love Cheetos. And Cheetos are the fuckin best, man!
*_fELlOW MALe_*
What we say in the netherlands: "Eerst kijken, dan video kijken! (First like, then watch the video)"
I didn't know choruses could be ominous and eerie until now
it's nice to know you had a cup of tea with a pile of ashes....
Thanks, Dan! Now I don't need to pay for heating next winter; I'll just huddle around your rap!
Круто чувак! Молодец!!
Background song name is Dark Castle btw
1:57 is that a reference to the rap about that sponsored game about polluting heart?
la cripta dei videogiochi what's the game called
incoming transmition i can't remember
I desperately wanna hear you angry rap. I wanna hear you sound mean.
My mom make's great tea
*In the frost*
*In combusting carbon we trust*
*For it's warmth we lust*
*As we walk on a thick ice crust...*
This is my first song with The Stupendium. He uses long words and sings about games, just like me! So hopefully we'll do more. This song is also on Spotify and you can hear it right here along with 300+ of my other songs: https://open.spotify.com/user/douglby/playlist/7x8UWetW3pfcwDgFEDDru8?si=dkeCrsPVQ1yC64NZtcUL8g
Pretty good and it fits the game quite well. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the good work mate.

Dan I know I'm a bit late but the chorus was absolutely stunning, please collaborate with people similar to this as it was astounding.
