Текст (слова) песни «Last of the Great Whales»

My soul has been torn from me
And I am bleedin'
My heart it has been rent
And I am cryin'
All the beauty around me fades
And I am screamin'
I'm the last of the great whales
And I am dyin'

Last night I heard the cry
Of my last companion
The roar of the harpoon gun
And then I was alone
I thought on days gone by
When we were thousands
But I know that I soon must die
The last leviathan

Next morning the sun did rise
Crimson in the sky
The ice was the colour of blood
And the winds they did sigh
I rose for to take a breath
It was my last one
From a gun came the roar of death
And now I am donе

Now that we are all gone
There's no more huntin'
The big fellow is no more
It's no use lamentin'
What race will be next in line
All for the slaughter?
The elephant or the cod?
Or your sons and daughter?

My soul has been torn from me
And I am bleedin'
My heart it has been rent
And I am cryin'
All the beauty around me fades
And I am screamin'
I'm the last of the great whales
And I am dyin'
