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.
