a shipwreck in the sand

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 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 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

as 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 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. this dream is now

a shipwreck in the sand

they gave up

they made all their demands

the storm consumed fifty seven souls

who died in vain

his love they stole

this union

a battle fought and lost

this union is not about the cause

this union was never about love

this union

this union

a battle fought and lost

this union is not about the cause

the union was never about love

this union

this union

a battle fought and lost

this union was about about the cause

this union was never about a love
