Hi Les:)
I play this song Les but I don't think it is the one your looking for...but just in case I'll put the lyrics in for you.

The Last Leviathan
written by Andy Barnes


My soul has been torn from me and I am bleeding
My heart it has been rent and I am crying
All the beauty around me fades and I am screaming
I am the last of the great whales
And I am dying

Last night I heard the cry of my last companion
The roar of the harpoon gun and then I was alone
I thought of the days gone by when we were thousands
But I know that I soon must die
The last leviathan

This morning the sun did rise crimson in the north sky
The ice was the colour of blood and the winds they did sigh
I rose for to take a breath, it was my last one
From a gun came the roar of death
And now I am done

Now that we are all gone there's no more hunting
The big fellow is no more, it's no use lamenting
What race will be next in line all for the slaughter
The elephant or the seal
Or your sons and daughters
