My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleedingMy heart, it has been rent, and I am cryingAll the beauty around me fades, and I am screamingI am the last of the great whales and I am dyingLast night I heard the cry of my last companionThe roar of the harpoon gun, and then I was aloneI thought on the days gone by when we were thousandsBut I know that I soon must die, the last leviathanThis morning the sun did rise, crimson edge to the north skyThe ice was the color of blood, and the winds, they did sighI rose for to take a breath, it was my last oneFrom a gun came the roar of death, and now I am doneAnd so since time began, we have been huntedThrough oceans that were our homes we have been hauntedFrom Eskimos in canoes to mighty whalersStill you ignored our pleas, none came to save usOh now that we all are gone, there is no more huntingThe big fellow is no more, it's no use lamentingWhat race will be next in line all for the slaughterThe elephant or the seal, or your sons and daughtersMy soul has been torn from me, and I am bleedingMy heart, it has been rent, and I am cryingAll the beauty around me fades, and I am screamingI am the last of the great whales and I am dying Aus Songtexte Mania
