Shipwreck
Lyrics
It's unraveling fast-
This life that you thought you had tied up
That picture of the past
Has shattered just as soon
As you had it fixed up
There's a problem right before you
Which you swear that you just locked away
She stands there, she mocks you
And goads your first move into play
She's the Jewel that slips from your hand,
More elusive the the tighter you squeeze
All you grasp dissolves into sand
Just a taste of today's new disease
And when the bomb explodes
You'll have to live with the response you chose
And when the bomb explodes
You'll have to live with the response you chose
You have to let it go
When what's out of hand has control of you
Make peace with what you know:
That you did all that you could do
And though what you feel
Could not depart from you too soon
It’s all over now
There’s no winning
You lose
This route once you chose
Set you upon a course to disaster
But through hindsight you know
It’s a destiny you could never master
Oh, the greatest intentions
Are the only way to live without regret
Apprehensions, dissensions,
For an outcome that you’ll not soon forget
For her wheel is forced from your hand
As you battle the treacherous seas
Soon you wake up wet on the sand
Fate forbids you do as you please
Watch your vessel decompose
You’ll have to live with the response you chose
Watch your vessel decompose
You’ll have to live with the response you chose
You have to let it go
When what's out of hand has control of you
Make peace with what you know:
That you did all that you could do
And though what you feel
Could not depart from you too soon
It’s all over now
There’s no winning
You lose
Champions come to the slaughter
Champions under the water
Champions come to the slaughter
Champions under the water
Looming shadows primed to take you,
They encircle you like sharks
So the pain can mold and make you
One trial ends, another starts
As you watch the chapter close,
What danger lurks only the future knows
As you watch the chapter close,
What danger lurks only the future knows
But the quest isn't over;
The Caravan moves on
New places, new faces
The story’s just begun
But the quest isn't over;
The Caravan moves on
New places, new faces
The story’s just begun
The Story
The caravan reached a point in their quest where their literal horse-drawn carvan could no longer continue forward. A vast sea laid before them, and the Jewelheart cult infesting a harbor that was the key to passage further in. The carvan fought the cult, with the captain of the ship there being a familiar foe - a thief known as the Jewel. The cult fought dangerously, and a fireball sent toward the carvan unfortunately killed Vesekir's love. Once taking the ship, the caravan set sail for new shores - but along the way they were attacked by a new foe - sailing forces from a far off land with ironclad warships and cannons. Taken by surprise, the Caravan's vessel was destroyed. Our remaining heroes awoke on the beach, ready to continue their journey, and face the ever mounting foes against them.
