The Last Leviathan

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
