My soul has been torn from me and I am bleeding My heart it has been rent and I am crying All beauty around me fades and I am weeping I am the last of the great whales and I am dying Last night I heard the cry of my last companion The roar of the harpoon gun, now I'm alone I rose up to take a breath, it was my last one From the gun comes the roar of death and now I am done And now that we're all gone and there's no more hunting The big fellow's there no more, 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 rent and I am crying All beauty around me fades and I am weeping I am the last of the great whales and I am dying
