Last Of The Great Whales 가사

My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding My heart, it has been wrecked, and I am crying All the beauty around me fades, and I am screaming I am the last of the great whales, and I am dying Last night, I heard the cry of my last companion The roar of the harpoon gun, and then I was alone I thought on the days gone-by, when we were thousands But I know that I soon must die the last leviathan This morning, the sun did rise, crimson edge to the north sky The ice was the color of blood, and the winds they did sigh I rose, for to take a breath, it was my last one From the gun came the roar of death, and now, I am done And so, since time began, we have been hunted Through oceans, that were our homes, we have been haunted From Eskimos, in canoes, to mighty whalers Still, you ignored our pleas, none came to save us Oh, now that we all are gone, there is no more hunting The big fellow is no more, it's no use lamenting What race will be next in-line, all for the slaughter? The elephant, or the seal, or your sons and daughters? My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding My heart, it has been wrecked, and I am crying All the beauty around me fades, and I am screaming I am the last of the great whales, and I am dying
