Cries of Anguish and Death
Echo across the Seas
Originating from Taiji
Taking Me Down to My Knees
Dolphins of the Oceans
What have they done?
They are Taking Your Lives
In the Land of the Rising Sun
From Your Ocean Home to their Cove
In a Death Run For the Kill
Relentlessly Driving Your Pods
For Your Blood they Will Spill
Oh Dolphins of Taiji
My God what they Have Done?
They Stab you in Numbers
And No Mercy is Shown.
Families, Unborn Babies,
It Matters Not for Them.
The Power of Green Money Is
Their Driving Force from Within.
Your Blood they Do Spill
In the Cove of Taiji
And a Few Spared in Each Run
Are Sent Away for a Fee
To Swim in Concrete Pools
Entertaining the Masses
While their Friends are Cut Up
And Served in School Classes
Fed to the Children
Toxic Mercury from the Kill
Identified only As Meat
To the World from the Spill
Hearing Your Cries, Sweet Friends
We Tell the World of their Shame
May the Fishermen of Taiji
Find no Pleasure in Their Pain.
The World Does Take Notice
Cove Slaughters Must be Halted
Let the Dolphins Swim Free
And their Defenders be Exalted.
