63 miles from space
The holocaust and the whale remains
My sad little requiem
Bring em all in
Bring em all down
Bring em all hunted again
Where are the dead
Where are the whales
Such a sedative achievement for men
By the bay beneath an alabaster moon
With the grace of a dancer he sung
With sonar we chase ya
Our poison'll kill ya
The harpoon not our only gun
You beautiful angel
Emotion divine
Of sea monsters there is only one
And the music from Stalag 8 cries
You die in those trains young and old
And if this is the reach
The reach of their hate
To remember will haunt you till cold
The guards make you hang
The ones you loved most
The survivor's dies forever I'm told
63 miles from space
The holocaust and the whale remain
You sacrifice life
For hatred and wealth
Nobody else here to blame
And what of the camps
What of the ships
In disguise but always the same
And you chased em to the end of the world
To prove our supremacy over superior design
Man versus nature
Nature verses god
You light whale oil and dance to it blind
What of the screaming
What of their song
There's such horrors at the end of the line
Holocaust and the Whale
Holocaust and the Whale
And the whale
And the Whale
Holocaust and the Whale
As the last great tattoo shall fade
Still the kingdoms of slavery survive
The humble shall kneel
Before their own kind
Light up your hatred and dive
The holocaust and the whale
Are the markers of man
Is our conscience the last thing to arrive
Holocaust and the whale
Holocaust and the whale
Holocaust and the whale
And the whale
And the whale
And the whale
And the whale
And the whale
The holocaust and the whale
Holocaust and the whale
The holocaust and the whale
Holocaust and the whale
