"In The Shadows Of The Ocean
Swam All The Little Fish
Salty Waters Of Emotion
For A Whale And Her Wish

As The Calf Sinks To Seafloor
Wrapped In Our Death Trap
Like So Many Have Before
Left As Lifeless Scrap

And The Turtles Yern For Peace
From The Surface And Below
Wonder When The Death Will Cease
1'000 Die Each Year You Know?

Day By Day They Disappear
All Behind Our Lazy Eye
That Couldn't Even Shed A Tear
For The Creature's That Will Die

So Wait The Day Where You And Me
Long For Our Correction
When We Look Down To The Sea
For Only A Reflection

The Tears Of Grief Still Staining Waves
Of The Babies We Let Go
Innocent Creatures Lost In Days
That We'll Never Again Know

Blood Red Empty Running Streams
Full Of Our Bad Choices
Echoes Of Their Final Screams
And Little Marine Voices

The Day We Start To Understand
Awake To Our Emotion
Too Late To Save The Land
Left With Shadows Of The Ocean"
