To all the towns in the Faroe Isles
\nIts a heartfelt message we
\nThe people who love animals
\nFeel a malignancy
\nAbout the grindadrap celebrations
\nThe slaughtering the drive
\nWhen the sea turns red
\nWith the blood and dread
\nAnd few Pilot Whales survive<\/p>\n
The massacre and it surely is
\nThe terror of the sea
\nWhole families cut to ribbons
\nAnd done so mercilessly
\nThat the council up in Scotland
\nIn Wick have written to you
\nAnd explained their true position
\nAnd what they have had to do<\/p>\n
Withdraw the twinning of their towns
\nFarewell Klaksvik they say
\nThe whole world feels its barbaric
\nAnd it cannot stay
\nIn our hearts and minds
\nIt cannot
\nThis evil has to go
\nThese beautiful whales deserve a life
\nAs I think most of you know<\/p>\n
You are alienating tourists cruise lines
\nAnd now those
\nOther friends which the letter sends
\nAnd surely now it shows
\nYou have to change your ways
\nIts not a culture to admire
\nThose families live for freedom
\nAnd are cut down in your fire<\/p>\n
To Wick we stand in admiration
\nFor what you all believe
\nIs the way ahead for you
\nAnd hopefully it will achieve
\nAnd end to all this slaughter
\nAnd end to all this pain
\nWe thank you for your courage
\nIn helping to break the chain<\/p>\n
In helping to flush some sense back into
\nA really dreadful scene
\nIn making people look at themselves
\nAnd realise where they have been
\nI know it will help and when it does
\nThose mighty whales will be
\nSaved from the awful slaughter
\nAnd the long term tragedy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
