WHOSE WAS THE BLAME PT 1 LYRICS

One day an otter came to complain before King Solomon
He said, "Alas my lord, was it not though to ordain peace between us all?"
"And who hath broken this peace?"
"I went down to the water to hunt for food, my children left with the weasel.
But it rose up against them and destroyed them all
now their blood cries out to me, 'Death to the slayer!'"

Solomon inquired of the weasel, "Was it truly thee?"
The weasel's reply, "Yes, it was I, oh in all honesty.
But it was not with intent.
I heard the woodpecker thunder his beak
giving forth the sound of a drum.
As he proclaimed the war, I too sped forth, trampling the children.
But it was not with intent."

Calling the woodpecker the king then asked, "Did you call for a fight."
"I did so my lord, but only in light of the scorpion whetting its dagger."

The scorpion whet its dagger because the tortoise furbished its armor.
The tortoise did so in defense as the crab sharpened its sword.

"Why sharpen your sword?" asked Solomon.
The crab answered sincerely and this is what she shared,
"I spotted the otter in the water, swimming down there
to devour my children."

The king looked towards the otter, not much could be said,
"The blood of thine own children is on thine own head."
Who hath broken this peace?
