Moby Dick

A noble king, you ruled the ocean
A million years and maybe more
Before our hands had set in motion
The killing wheel of love and war

A noble king, you ruled the ocean
A million years and maybe more
Before our hands had set in motion
The killing wheel of love and war
You saw the sailing ships that found you
And thought it must be all a game
Until the seas grew red around you
The waters covered with our shame

Moby Dick, God wasn't on your side
Moby Dick, you had no chance to hide
For nothing's saved before the human race
Moby Dick, who's gonna take your place?

Before the whaling schooners caught you
You lived and died in peace of mind
What higher wisdom could have taught you?
No one can win a race with time
So goodbye, Moby Dick, you have to die
Although you've never done no harm
And when you're gone, we'll all be wondering why
We killed a friend to keep us warm

Moby Dick, God wasn't on your side
Moby Dick, you had no chance to hide
For nothing's saved before the human race
Moby Dick, who's gonna take your place?
Moby Dick, God wasn't on your side
Moby Dick, you had no chance to hide
For nothing's saved before the human race
Moby Dick, who's gonna take your place?
Moby Dick, who's gonna take your place?
