Just A Nautic Tale Lyrics - Stygma Iv

DEEP WITHIN THE ENDLESS BLUE 

I SEE A SILHOUETTE 

THE EMINENCE OF THE SEA 

HE IS ON HIS TRAIL TO HIS FORSEEN DESTINY TOWARDS THE 

ARCTIC SEA 

HIS REIGN WAS SILENT 

SO MANKIND COULDN'T HEAR 

HE KEPT THE OCEANS 

AND COULD DEFEND HIS KINGDOM 'TIL MEN APPEARED THEY 

SAILED THE OCEANS 

IN GREED FOR LAND 

THEY INVENTED WEAPONS 

TO HUNT THE WHALE 

THE SEA WAS BLEEDING 

AND TURNED TO RED 

OUR SEARCH FOR PROFIT 

WOULDN'T COME TO AN END 

IT'S HARD TO COMPREHEND 

WHY THEY KILLED THE WHALE 

THEY DIDN'T NEED HIS MEAT 

TO SURVIVE THEIR BITTER AGE 

THEY DIDN'T NEED HIS OIL 

TO WARM THEM IN THE COLD 

THE EXTINCTION OF THE WHALE 

IS JUST A NAUTIC TALE 

ON HIS JOURNEY TO HIS CHOSEN FATE 

DREAMING OF THE TIME 

HE DIDN'T SPEND IN SOLITUDE 

HE FEELS THE ILLNESS 

HE WON'T SURVIVE 

WHEN HE'LL BE DEAD 

THE OCEANS WILL DIE......WHY? 

'CAUSE HE'S THE LAST WHALE 

THE LAST WHALE 

THE LAST WHALE 

THE LAST OF HIS KIND 

IT'S HARD TO COMPREHEND 

WHY THEY STILL KILL THE WHALE 

WE DON'T NEED HIS MEAT 

TO SURVIVE OUR BITTER AGE 

WE DON'T NEED HIS OIL TO WARM US IN THE COLD 

THE EXTINCTION OF THE WHALE 

IS JUST A NAUTIC TALE 

NOW WHALING SHIPS APPEAR 

AND HE WON'T ESCAPE THEM 

THE SEA POURING OUT ANGUISH AND FEAR 

THE OCEAN WINDS GET STORMY 

THEIR DEADLY HARPOON HITS HIS REAR 

BUT HE CAN TEAR THE LINE 

HE'S DIVING DEEP DOWN THE OCEAN 

TO REST IN PEACE 

DROWNING 

DROWNING 

DROWNING 

THE SEA IS BLEEDING 

AND IT TURNS TO RED 

ITS CHAIN REACTION WILL BE OUR END 

I CANNOT COMPREHEND 

WHY THEY'VE KILLED THE WHALES 

THEY'VE NEVER NEEDED THE MEAT 

TO SURVIVE THEIR RUTHLESS AGE 

THEY'VE NEITHER NEEDED THE OIL 

TO WARM THEM IN THE COLD 

THE KILLING OF THE WHALE 

IS JUST A NAUTIC TALE 

AS I REALISE WHAT I'VE SEEN ON MY SILVERSCREEN 

I FEEL PAIN DEEP WITHIN 

HOW CAN MEN BE SO CRUEL 

AT LAST WE'RE JUST THE FOOLS 

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE LOSE 

IN OUR DESTROYING GAME WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN PLAYING
