Now What (Are They Doing to My Little Friends) |
I dreamed I was an Otter, |
In sheltered leats I lay |
The I heard a sound I feared |
And the I saw their coats |
All smeared in blood |
I knew my fate — |
Nowhere to hide. |
I dreamed I was a Red Stag, |
In pastures grazing |
And then I heard a hunting-horn |
Ringing out it’s song — |
The Song of Death |
We know so well |
How can I tell? |
For I, I am the Sun |
I am the Moon |
I am the Stars up above |
Now what are they doing to my little friends? |
I make everything and it all dies in the end. |
I dreamed I was a Big Bear, |
Bespectacled and brown |
And the I saw to shafts of fire |
Shooting through the sky — |
I heard no more |
Save drops of rain |
I cannot explain… |
I dreamed I was a Grey Seal, |
My cubs for suckling |
And then they came with sticks and clubs |
And beat away my brains — |
I heard no more |
Save childrens' cries |
Helpless to die. |
For I, I am the Sun |
I am the Moon |
I am the Stars up above |
Now what are they doing to my little friends? |
I make everything and it all dies in the end. |
The night is quiet for Otters |
In peaceful holts they lie |
There is no peace for anyone |
While this pest remains, |
His senseless mind cannot retain |
I cannot explain — |
For I, I am the Sun |
I am the Moon |
I am the Stars up above |
Now what are they doing to my little friends? |
I make everything and it all dies in the end. |
