I think that someone is trying to kill me,
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind.
No man of the flesh could ever stop me,
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death!

White whale - Holy grail!
White whale - Holy grail!

What remorseless emperor commands me?
I no longer govern my soul.
I am completely immersed in darkness,
As I turn my body away from the sun!

White whale - Holy grail!
White whale - Holy grail!

(Guitar solo)

Split your lungs with blood and thunder,
When you see the white whale.
Break your backs and crack your oars, men!
If you wish to prevail...

This ivory leg is what propels me,
Harpoons thrust in the sky.
Aim directly for his crooked brow,
And look him straight in the eye!

White whale - Holy grail!
White whale - Holy grail!
