[00:00.00]Riegal - Pearls Before Swine
[00:10.40]First I will describe the scene to you
[00:16.01]Do you have it right
[00:18.07]In 1944 the Riegal
[00:23.63]She went down
[00:24.76]She went down
[00:26.62]With 4 000 prisoners
[00:32.42]Asleep on board
[00:35.11]Well now do you
[00:38.85]I want to know if you
[00:41.60]Have it right is it like
[00:43.47]The borders of a dream
[00:48.37]Have taken you inside
[00:51.67]The Riegel was a mighty ship
[00:52.92]4 000 prisoners strong
[00:56.98]The Captain he was gallant
[01:00.60]Or perhaps he was a prisoner too
[01:04.65]Who's to know for sure who's who
[01:10.46]One night it was very late
[01:14.15]The Riegel tore its side
[01:18.44]4 000 prisoners and the Captain
[01:22.88]They were trapped inside
[01:26.74]Has there been any news
[01:29.49]I feel so out of place
[01:31.73]The Captain's always busy
[01:34.61]Being in a state of grace
[01:40.85]Are you listening out there
[01:45.73]The crew they were a sorry lot
[01:50.03]Blinded by their blood
[01:53.71]The Captain he whispered orders
[01:57.14]You could not hear him above the flood
[02:02.32]Then somebody said"the ocean's here"
[02:06.94]But someone said"No there's more"
[02:10.99]And the last thing I remember
[02:15.30]Is a broken hand clinging to the Captain's door
[02:19.60]Has there been any news
[02:22.16]I feel so out of place
[02:24.35]The Captain's always busy
[02:26.22]Being in a state of grace
[02:28.78]But what I want to know is
[02:32.33]Anybody listening
[02:33.83]Is anybody listening
[02:36.51]Is anybody listening
