I hope you're coming in peace with good intentions

I've got something to say that might save your soul

this sign is a warning so pay attention

open up the earth you could lose control



this place is full of shit that kills

maybe us and maybe you, it's true



you can dig for diamonds in the dust

and you can dig forever if you must

but if you dig this mountain high and clear

there's much to fear

just don't dig here



we considered ourselves a powerful culture

the bully pulpit waved the flag on high

we feasted on the carrion like vultures

across the land the bones were piling high

against the sky



then we filled the mountain to the brim

sealed it in, just don't pull the pin



you can dig for diamonds in the dust

and you can dig forever if you must

but if you dig this mountain high and clear

there's much to fear

just don't dig here



you can dig for diamonds in the dust

and you can dig forever if you must

but if you dig this mountain high and clear

in the atmosphere

just don't dig here
