This is a story steeped in bitterness.
A song in honor of Diver Dave — whose courage still lights the abyss.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Down I go where the shadows play
The cave whispers
“Why’d you stray?”
But I laugh
I say
“Just passing through”
With a heart so light
But a vow so true
[Prechorus]
The rocks may bite
The currents pull tight
But a promise made is a guiding light
[Chorus]
For the vow
For the vow
I won’t break it now
Through the dark
Through the deep
I will keep what I keep
Even if I don’t come out somehow
[Verse 2]
The walls shimmer
Secrets they keep
I find them smiling
Ancient and steep
The lost soul’s voice calls soft and low
“Why’d you come? Why let go?”
[Prechorus]
I grin
I wink
“I said I’d show”
A promise dives where fear won’t go
[Chorus]
For the vow
For the vow
I won’t break it now
Through the dark
Through the deep
I will keep what I keep
Even if I don’t come out somehow
