lyrics

Verse 1:
Gentle giants of the forest
Igneous to my soul
Saviour or abhorrest
The american gaining control

Chorus:
Something horrible is going on
In a distant part of the world
Hunting, killing leaving their children

Something horrible is going on
In a distant part of the world
Stop these beasts that should be forbidden

Verse 2:
Tusks turned into carvings and trinkets
This monstrous act of crime
A keystone species now you would think it
The epitome of all time

Chorus:
Something horrible is going on
In a distant part of the world
hunting, killing leaving their children

Something horrible is going on
In a distant part of the world
Stop these beasts that should be forbidden
