Whales Songtext
von The Dredge

The cage is mounted on a humpback whale
In the deep, where they sleep
The pressure, the 16 bars of atmosphere
Weigh us down
The boat above has harpooneers at the ready
As we rise, they take aim
Your tail snaps the rope

I have been told so many times
The many ways to save my soul
But I don′t think there's even one
I don′t think there's even one

I have been told so many times
The many ways to save my soul
But I don't think there′s more than one
I don′t think there's even one


My carcass is carried on tumultuous waves
Onto the isle not on a map
The barriers, the 15 bars that hold me here are dislodged
I crawl out

The ocean, that has sanctioned all our moves so far, pulls away
Like it′s dying
The sand dunes, their curvature, seem quite surprised
As they're pulled, as they′re pulled from the shore

I have been told so many times
The many ways to save my soul
But I don't think there′s more than one
I don't even think there's one

I have been told so many times
The many ways to save my soul
But I don′t think there′s more than one
I don't even think there′s one


The cage is mounted on a humpback whale
In the deep
The boat above has harpooneers
At the ready
We surface, we break the blue
And your tail wraps the rope
Around my name
