"The Devil Is Near" Lyrics

Hey hey!
They live this day and night
This is sacrifice, no fucking compromise

Hey hey!
They have the heart to resist
Whilst the hunters hunt, they will persist

This is where tragedy is bought and sold
It seems their pain is worth it's weight in gold
You know they're here when the water is red
Our fading life support is hanging by a thread

A message etched on broken ships

Hey hey!
They live this day and night
This is sacrifice, no fucking compromise

Hey hey!
They have the heart to resist
Whilst the hunters hunt, they will persist

You can hear them cry, they're calling out
For the mother lost, she's bleeding out

she's bleeding out

Their innocence is heaven sent
This malevolence, it will not relent
A graveyard sits upon the shore
They won't swim together anymore

The tide will rush with waves of fear
Selling souls, the devil is near
The tide will rush with waves of fear
Selling souls, the devil is near
The devil is near

[Spoken by Captain Paul Watson:]
If we're going to survive on this planet we have to respect
the rights of all those species to survive
Cause we need them
More than they need us

A message etched on broken ships
We'll be here till corruption quits
There is a voice, though they cannot speak
Not yet ready to admit defeat.

You can hear them cry, they're calling out
For the mother lost, she's bleeding out

This is where tragedy is bought and sold
It seems their pain is worth it's weight in gold
