Save The Whale Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In turquoise inner space
The giants live with grace
At peace with peace
At peace with god and men

[Verse 2]
Their spirits rise and fall
Much greater than us all
They trust too much
To see their bitter end

"Never in a million years", they say
"it could never come to this, no way"
You should never trust man, my friends

[Verse 3]
So as i stare to sea
The salt winds call to me
And as they call
I hang my head in shame

Any other world would call their bluff
But any other world would scream enough
The ocean cries louder to me
[Hook]
Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale
Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale

[Verse 4]
To never kiss and tell
Their factory ship farewell
With every scream
A piece of conscience dies
Lying in a crimson resting place
Crying with a smile upon his face
The giant dies trusting in me

Any other world would call their bluff
But any other world would scream enough
The ocean cries louder to me

[Hook]
Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale
And Jesus Christ almighty
Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale

For all our sakes . . . save the whale
