Peter - Moby Dick lyrics

rate me

A noble king you ruled the ocean<br />

A million years or maybe more<br />

Before our hands had set in motion<br />

The killing wheel of love and war.<br />

<br />

You saw the sailing ships that found you<br />

And thought it must be all a game<br />

Until the seas grew red around you<br />

Thtt water coloured with our shame.<br />

<br />

Moby Dick<br />

God wasn't on your side<br />

Moby Dick<br />

You had no chance to hide<br />

For nothing's save before the human race<br />

Moby Dick<br />

Who's gonna take your place?<br />

<br />

Before the whaling schooners caught you<br />

You lived and died in peace of mind<br />

What higher wisdom could have taught you<br />

No one can win a race with time.<br />

<br />

So<br />

Goodbye Moby Dick<br />

You have to die<br />

Although you've never done no harm<br />

And when you're gone we'll all be wondering why<br />

We killed a friend to keep us warm.<br />

<br />

Moby Dick<br />
