When All Else Fails
by Capt. Paul Watson

When talks fail,
It's time to sail,
When the law fails,
It's time to sail.
When politicians fail,
It's time to sail.

Off to war we go,
Where the whales spout and blow
Baby whales need to grow,
The whalers need to know,
That Whale Wars is more than just a show.
So it's off to war we go.

When humanity does fail
It's time for our ships to sail.
It makes no sense to whale,
So it time for our ships to sail,
Let the whalers moan and wail,
It's time for our ships to sail.

Our crew is ready
The course will be steady
Enough killing already!
Our ships are primed and ready,
The hand on the wheel is steady,
Operation Divine Wind is ready!

We go where no others dare
We do not come to gawk and stare,
We take action to make the public aware
We do what we do because we care
To save species both great and rare,
From whalers who we hunt and scare.

When all else fails, we raise our sails,
To sail the seas and ride the gales,
It up to us to balance these deadly scales,
In our crusade to save the whales.
So many stories, so many tales
Of this quest to defend the whales.

When talks fail,
It's time to sail,
When the law fails,
It's time to sail.
When politicians fail,
It's time to sail.
