Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
We gather here today to confess
And be cleansed in the eyes of our creator
We gather here to be washed clean of the sins of humanity
We gather here to reject the greed of our forefathers
Here, where Dead Sea meets withered land
We see the jagged remnants of the old cities piercing the tops of the waves
And they pierce our hearts with the revelation
Yours and the earths are all the glories that endure
And for all our toil, in the end
We must submit to your judgment
As they did
For it is the fate of all humankind to be judged
Our forefathers took without giving, took without need
Took things that they had neither desire nor use for, and threw them away
They covered the face of the ancient planet in newborn desert
They melted the ice at the ends of the earth, drowned the coast
Emptied seas and forests of life, filled the very oceans with fire
And were judged
You see the verdict there
In yonder drowned city
And we, their children
Are cursed to wander
Deprived of land that can sustain us
By our own ancestors
But we keep the stories
We remember
What set man
On the downward road
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
We gather here today to confess
And be cleansed in the eyes of our creator
We gather here to be washed clean of the sins of humanity
We gather here to reject the greed of our forefathers
Here, where Dead Sea meets withered land
We see the jagged remnants of the old cities piercing the tops of the waves
And they pierce our hearts with the revelation
Yours and the earths are all the glories that endure
And for all our toil, in the end
We must submit to your judgment
As they did
For it is the fate of all humankind to be judged
Our forefathers took without giving, took without need
Took things that they had neither desire nor use for, and threw them away
They covered the face of the ancient planet in newborn desert
They melted the ice at the ends of the earth, drowned the coast
Emptied seas and forests of life, filled the very oceans with fire
And were judged
You see the verdict there
In yonder drowned city
And we, their children
Are cursed to wander
Deprived of land that can sustain us
By our own ancestors
But we keep the stories
We remember
What set man
On the downward road
