They pried me open,
Pulled a pearl out of me.
Threw me back in the sea,
While the waves watched me bleed.

Broken and opened,
to the sand, how I sink.
Now I'm starting to think,
This can't be the end of me.

You'll find me once more
When I come to shore.
Taken in on a storm,
Oh, wait till they see,
hold that ring in my teeth.
