Testo The Last Of The Great Whales

The Last Of The Great WhalesMy soul has been torn from meAnd I am bleedingMy heart it has been rentAnd I am cryingAll the beauty around me fadesAnd I am screamingI am the last of the great whalesAnd I am dyingLast night I heard the cryOf my last companionThe roar of the harpoon gunAnd then I was aloneI thought of the days gone byWhen we were thousandsBut I know that I soon must dieThe last leviathanThis morning the sun did riseCrimson in the north skyThe ice was the colour of bloodAnd the winds they did sighI rose for to take a breathIt was my last oneFrom a gun came the roar of deathAnd now I am doneOh now that we are all goneThere's no more huntingThe big fellow is no moreIt's no use lamentingWhat race will be next in line?All for the slaughterThe elephant or the sealOr your sons and daughtersMy soul has been torn from meAnd I am bleedingMy heart it has been rentAnd I am cryingAll the beauty around me fadesAnd I am screamingI am the last of the great whalesAnd I am dying
