Patty Larkin - The Last Leviathan & Prelude lyrics

My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding My heart it has been wrent, and I am crying As the beauty around me fails, and I am screaming I'm the last of the great whales And I am dying Last night I heard the call of my last companions The blast of a harpoon gun, and I swam alone I reflected on days gone by, when we were thousands, And I know that I soon must die The Last Leviathan This morning the sun did rise in a crimson north sky The ice was the color of blood, and I heard the wind sigh I rose up to take a breath, it was my last one From a gun came the roar of d**h And now I'm undone My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding My heart it has been wrent, and I am crying As the beauty around me fails and I am screaming I'm the last of the great whales, And I am dying And now that we are all gone, there'll be no more hunting The big fellow is no more, and it's no use lamenting What race will be next in line all for the slaughter The elephant or the seal Or your sons and daughters My soul has been torn from me, and I am bleeding My heart it has been wrent and I am crying As the beauty around me fails and I am screaming I am the last of the great whales, And I am dying.
