I think this one must be inspired by the Abjuration School of Magic from D&D. Its all about protecting yourself and the downside of what happens when you protect yourself too much from others.

Abjuration sounds right to me. The title "Arctic Circle" refers to Magic Circle Against Evil, "a heart that will never melt" to Endure Elements, Protection from Energy and/or Resist Energy, "shields up!" to Shield, and "now you can endure the fear" to Remove Fear, all abjuration spells in 3.5 Edition (the latest at the time the album was released).

"Now you can endure the lies" doesn't quite fit though. The only D&D 3.5e spells that defend against lies are Discern Lies, which is divination, and Zone of Truth, which is enchantment....
