Silverstein - A Shipwreck In The Sand lyrics

Once upon a time, before the lakes and rivers were polluted, before the animals were poached to extinction, and before man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere, there was a great ship. This vessel was to venture into new waters, to find new resources to make life easier and more enjoyable. It was a simple mission for the crew, who were excited to be a part of this union. They pledged their allegiance to the captain and vow to be there no matter what, in sickness, health, and possible d**h. As time pa**ed by, there was no new land to be found. As the days grew shorter, and the nights grew longer and colder, the crew became more and more skeptical about the captain's vision. Originally pa**ionate and committed, true and faithful, they now began to revolt. You've crossed the line I was honest and never promised anything Just a brotherhood to stand for something And everyone should take the lead Follow your dreams If you don't try you fail The mutiny started And the captain was overthrown and chained He asked them why Their minds had changed There's no gold to be found No treasure in the ground We won't die for this We won't die for you You've lost your mind I was honest and never promised anything Just a brotherhood to stand for something And even if they disagree Follow your dreams If you don't try, you fail His dream is now A shipwreck in the sand They gave up Then made all their demands The storm consumed 57 souls That died in vain His love they stole This union, a battle fought and lost This union was not about the cause This union was never about love This union, this union x3
