WHALESONG

well shes swimming to the shore
in blood red sea
man with all his greeds
he brings pain and misery

and they're crying
they're crying out to the world
the great whales are gone
oh my friend it won't be long now

she's struggling hard
she's got a harpoon in her back
well there's nothing she can do
and she won't attack

and they're dying
they're crying out to the world
the great whales have gone
you'll see my friend it won't be long now

and they're crying like its forever
cos they're fading from history
is it fresh meat for the taking
or is it rotting on some beach
the big ships of industry
they leave a trail in a blood red sea
oh you men with all your greeds
let the last whales go free

and so you wash your hands in the sea
and the sea is turning red
you'll find the stench of man is upon you
life on earth will soon be dead

and they're crying
they're crying out to the world
the great whales are gone
oh my friend it won't be long now
