David roth pearl diver[00:00:18]

I was living very happy[00:00:19]

When they came to me[00:00:24]

Offered riches for the pearls[00:00:29]

Way down in the sea[00:00:33]

So I became a pearl diver[00:00:37]

Held my breath as I went down[00:00:43]

Caught my foot between two rocks[00:00:47]

And drowned[00:00:51]

Now I am sitting under water[00:00:56]

Watching things fall in[00:01:01]

Sinking with the weight of knowledge[00:01:06]

Greed[00:01:11]

Desire and sin[00:01:11]

Now I am eternal witness[00:01:25]

To the tide that man has turned[00:01:30]

Pity he will never know[00:01:35]

The things that I have learned[00:01:39]

The submarines go underneath[00:01:43]

The battleships above[00:01:49]

And the divers keep on coming[00:01:50]

Putting prices on their love[00:01:57]

And I can taste the toxic waters[00:02:02]

Hear every splash of waste[00:02:07]

I see how man has used the sea[00:02:12]

Diluting his distaste[00:02:16]

The fishes tell me they would like to[00:02:30]

Throw a hook up on the land[00:02:36]

Snag a man and drag him under[00:02:40]

Put him in a can[00:02:45]

Watch him fight to breathe the water[00:02:49]

Buy him in a store[00:02:55]

Cut him up to be their dinner[00:02:59]

Throw the bones on shore[00:03:04]

Dump their garbage overground[00:03:08]

Invade the air with greed[00:03:13]

Exploit the wind and use the land[00:03:18]

For things that they don't need[00:03:22]

I was living very happy[00:03:46]

Until they came to me[00:03:51]

Offered riches for the pearls[00:03:56]

Way down in the sea[00:04:01]

My dream is to be cremated[00:04:05]

Not swaying with the tide[00:04:09]

But because I wanted more[00:04:17]

Than god had given me I died[00:04:33]
