A Shipwreck In The Sand Lyrics - Shipwreck In The Sand - Silverstein

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 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. 

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

And we started 

And the captain went over 

He asked them why 

Their lives 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 

Photos 

His dream is now 

A shipwreck in the sand 

They gave up 

Then made all their demands 

The storm ensues 

57 souls 

Die in vain 

And what 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
