About

This song borrows from Chapter 41- Moby Dick, and Chapters 133 & 134, respectfully The Chase – First Day and The Chase – Second Day. Interestingly most of the language is borrowed from the final confrontations.

It is sung hauntingly, with a lot of reverb and echo between the two parts. It is...

Ahab Lyrics

[A]
Here is Ahab
[B]
Here is Ahab

[A]
In a whaleboat
[B]
In a whaleboat

[A&B]
And the white whale has wreaked destruction and terror

[A]
Here is Ahab
[B]
Here is Ahab

[A]
In a whaleboat
[B]
In a whaleboat

[A&B]
And the white whale has shattered the boats around him

[A]
Ahab stands on two legs
[B]
Ahab stands on two legs

[A]
Ahab whirls around
[B]
Ahab whirls around

[A]
He veers into the water
[B]
The crew is in the water

[A]
He veers into the depths of water
[B]
Water

[A&B]
And sees a white living spout

[A]
No bigger than a white weasel

[A&B]
And the spot rises up
And the spot magnifies

[A]
And as the spot turns Ahab sees

[B]
White glistening teeth floating up from the undiscoverable bottom

[A]
The glittering mouth yawns beneath the boat like a marble tomb

[B]
And it rises with utmost velocity

[A]
And it rises with utmost velocity

[B]
And it rises with utmost velocity

[A]
And it rises with utmost velocity

[A&B]
Until the white whale leaps out of the water

[B]
He booms his bulk into the air

[A]
He booms his bulk into the air

[B]
A mountain of dazzling foam

[A]
A mountain of foam

[A&B]
His wilding [?] like a glacier
And then the whale's sickle-shaped jaw bears down on poor Ahab

[STARBUCK, spoken]
And in a quick thoughtless moment, Moby Dick bears down and reaps away Ahab’s leg, like a mower reaping a blade of grass in the field

[A]
Where is Ahab?

[B]
Where is Ahab?

[A]
Is Ahab Ahab?

[B]
Is Ahab Ahab?
