Silverstein - 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 whatIn 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.
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.

It Was So Much More.
