Lyrics Another Tale - I've Heard Them Sing

When I was young my father told

Me wonderfully tremendous tales

About a world that noone knows

The mystic kingdom of the whales

Monuments in flesh and blood

Gliding through eternity

Dancing through an unknown sea

As conquerors of gravity



And he told me bout

Their mysterious song

A song about pride

A song bout being strong

Melodies full

Of atmosphere

Chords in blue

Far from fear

Chords in blue

Written just for you



Years ago upon Scottland s cliffs

In a warm October fullmoon night

I was enjoying the Highland's glowing sky

Underneath eternal northern lights

When suddenly a soft strange sound

Made me forget everything

And I always will remember

This moment when I heard them sing



I ve heard them sing

A mysterious song

About being hunted

And being killed too long

Chords in a blue

And cold atmosphere

Melancholic sounds

Of sorrow and fear

Chords in blue

Written just for you



Now the time has come to tell this tale

To our daughter and we ve got to explain

Our reasons for doing nothing exept

Playing the hypocrite in our book of shame

Oh please, Wynona, dont ask me why

We ve killed what we claim to adore

No please, Wynona, don t ask why

The whales don t sing anymore



So I tell her about

Their mysterious song

A song bout all those things

That went wrong

Melancholy and

Chords in blue

Bout a world we didn t

Protect for you

Chords in blue
