A noble king you ruled the ocean A million years or 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 Thtt water coloured with our shame. Moby Dick God wasn't on your side Moby Dick You had no chance to hide For nothing's save 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.
