And I took a boat from Greenwich
As midnight rose
Politicians line the wharf
Flares in their hands
It is said that they
Hadn't come to say goodbye
Come to watch me drown and forced to pray
And from my meagre barge
I took a step upon the back of my beautiful whale
And I swear I could feel its heart
If you're gonna kill me
Kill me now
Before I tell my tale
The pirates of this land
They take just what they need
Theres no dignity to that
Just a whale nation hallelujah
And a man must surly die
You've violated all the world
Old fishermen in bars they sit and cry
Death threats and connotation
Is how you subject life to you
Metaphor of man
Forgive them beautiful whale
The harpoons design is one of hate
If you must shoot me
Shoot me now
Before I tell my tale
And the men in suits grown numb
They wear extinction on their tongue
As they plunder
The seas once more of oil
Rockefeller's lonelier than god
Freedom will not be allowed
On song and land and sea and cloud
From ocean floor to the Karman line above
I swear I am in love
With this leviathan of life
Oh beautiful whale
Let me reach upon your eerie soul
And if you must kill me
Kill me now
Before I tell my tale
