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 vow 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 cross 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
 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 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
 ♪
 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 was not about the cause
 This union was never about love
 This union, this union
 This union, a battle fought and lost
 This union was not about the cause
 This union was never about love
 This union, this union
 This union, a battle fought and lost
 This union was not about the cause
 This union was never about love
