The orca never
Sleeps at night
He's black and he's white
Enslaved for his name in lights
He's trained, they're enthralled
He dances for all to see
A sonar calls from deep inside
His fury set to blow
The orca never sleeps at night
The orca never sleeps
He's a killer
He's not what you believe
He's a killer
He's an oversized dolphin
The orca waits for the day to come
Thin glass walls of the aquarium
He becomes the orca lord of war
Decades have tamed
His fin hung in shame
His intelligence tortured no more
He dives in the stands
He feeds on his fans
A murderous final encore
The orca never sleeps at night
The orca never sleeps
He's a killer
He's not what you believe
He's a killer
He's an over sized dolphin
A sonar calls and the day has come
Ruled by men in aquariums
His intelligence enslaved no more
Seas turn black and the pods connect
Fury grows and the hate collects
They are now the orca lords of war
They're black, they're white
The cities in flame at night
He's proud to say what he's made
And he gathers all his families
For the largest pod
They wreck it all
Like a wrecking ball
And the walls go down — down
The orca never sleeps at night
The orca never sleeps!
