Maritime Tragedies

The Briggs


One man's decision for god to bring the rain 
Brought a storm to the world for self profit and gain 
Took your voice away 
What could you possibly say? 

On the dock waiting for the ships to come in 
I look beyond the shore to see the earth meet the heavens 
They'll meet again 
They'll become one in the end 

To make a living, do we have to live in this prison? 
I sold my soul to the team that was winning 
But if the tables must turn 
I won't be alone when I burn 

Does the sun determine our fate? 
Are we as free as it's betrayed? 
Don't pull the wool over my eyes 
To what's truth, what's lies 
Sheep in wolf's disguise 

Maritime tragedies 
Making angels out of men 
Maritime tragedies 
Make angels out of men 

Within the wreckage of a civilization 
A new life has already begun 
A new breed will rise 
With victory in their eyes
