Dear Derelict

Verse 1:

Once we were kings

Now we're all shipwrecked

So hard these days

to hold our heads up high

Birds pass us by

Reciting their lines unkind

For all those civil savants

who drink fine wines



Chorus:

Dear Derelict

You'll find your stride

Across the ocean tide

Dear Derelict

We'll bide our time

Then fly



Verse 2:

Of all that was fair

nothing remains

All our conviction made fiction

and we're to blame

Curse out their names!

Merchants and pirates the same

We ain't no better

but we'll enjoy our fame



Chorus:

Dear Derelict

You'll find your stride

Across the ocean tide

Dear Derelict

We'll bide our time

Then fly



Till all your fears subside



Part 2:

I thought I really was insane

Turns out it wasn't always this way

Still we just cling to dreams of better days



We might've fallen from Your sight

I'll do my best to make it alright

Still we just cling to dreams of better days



And now I feel really alive

I know it can't always be night

Still we just cling to dreams of righteousness
