The Last Leviathan Songtext
von Meg Davis

My soul has been torn from me
And I am bleeding
My heart it has been rend
And I am crying

All 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 soon I must die
The last leviathan


This morning the sun did rise
Crimson in the north sky
The ice was the colour of blood
And the wind it 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 done

Oh now that we are all gone
There′s no more hunting
The big fellow is no more
It's no use lamenting

What race will be next in time
Or for the slaughter
The elephant or the seal
Or your son′s and daughters

My soul has been torn from me
And I am bleeding
My heart it has been rend
And I am dying


All beauty around me fades
And I am screaming
I am the last of the great whales
And I am dying
