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,
And create a contemporary world, 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 vowed to be there no matter what,
In sickness, health, and possible death. As time passed 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 passionate and committed, true and faithful, they now began to revolt.

„You’ve crossed the line, I was honest. I 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.“

And as the munity started and the captain was overthrown and chained,
He asked them why their minds has 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 minds, I was honest. I 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, they made all for their demands.
The storm consumed 57 souls who died in vain, his love they stole.

This union, a battle fought and lost.
The union was not about love.
The union was never about love.
