about

This movement deals with a mother who loses her calf. She has been feeding it toxic milk. The toxins have come from feeding in polluted waters. They have been stored in fat deposits and were released during suckling.

lyrics

Killer Whale brought up on pollution
Killer Whale you have no milk substitution
Wrath of man, is it malice or confusion?

Killer Whale are your young ones feeling thirsty
In the wild you have shown restraint for all your powers
Jaws of death we have been at your mercy
Killer Whale, but not like you have been at ours

Is there grief there? does it take all your will to keep going?
Our momentum ratchets out of hand and now its showing
In suspension, luminescent ocean patterns flowing
And we can grieve together.
