1080 – The Last Fish lyrics

Upon one foggy afternoon, a foolish man ran out of room
In his garbage can so he, threw his trash into the sea
He did this time and time again, the sea still looked fine to him
He saw no reason to stop this, until the day he met a fish...
The fish told him you're a fool, who will clean up after you?
Don't throw your garbage near me, we don't want it in the sea
But the fish was never heard, & instead the mean just spread the word
Before long everybody disposed of their rubbish in the sea...
That's where it all fell apart!
The water's color slowly changed, and the sea was quickly drained
Of the life that had lived there, it was now almost completely bare
The man returned, one rainy day, but not to throw garbage away
He planned to catch some fish instead, not knowing they were mostly dead
The man fished all day and night, but simply nothing would bite
Caught some boots and metal chains, but threw them back to where they came...
When the sun came up the next day, the man give in when he began to pray;
"Dear god it's your old friend me, i've lived free of sin, now i stand here desperately"
God did not answer his prayers, instead a single fish stood there
The only one that had survived, he was barely even alive
His voice was withering and weak, scared the man when he began to speak
"I warned you fool, you did not see, the only fish alive is me
I tell you now as I stand alone, you successfully destroyed my home
You broke the great cycle of earth, you'll kill yourself and you'll kill the world first
I beg you now to change your ways, my home has been lost but the earth can be saved."
He looked at the world for one last time, then closed his eyes, sunk down and died
