Hopes as red as blood,

The ship sailing on a flood

Of ecxitement and courage.

In our minds an image,

Of lost dreams

And finding peace.

Although it seems

There exists none of these.

I am the captain,

All attention on me.

No matter what might happen,

As we sail the sea,

Evergrowing excitement,

Fills our hearts.

We do more than a merchant,

Don't just sell parts.

We're giving our whole,

Do whatever it takes,

Yet, try not to play the role

Of the villain.

Evergrowing stakes,

Everything we are given,

It'll be for naught,

For what to do we ought,

Will break once more

Our mind and heart.

What we bore

Can be broken apart

Like fragile glass,

Will be gone with the wind

Like gas.

There's not a hint

Of giving up,

The passion keeps

Our emotions stub,

For we know the heaps

Of luck it takes,

For us to survive

Even though we strive

And another heart breaks,

As our hopes get stained red.

More people bleed,

Caught up in the net,

Of the human's greed.

Lives have been lost,

And our hearts are covered in frost,

But we will never cease,

To try to find peace.

We owe it to us,

We owe it to them

Thus,

Even when

Our red hopes eventually fade,

The sky turns to a darker shade,

Our excitement and passion,

The courage we had

Won't turn ashen,

We know we weren't bad,

We knew we'd find peace,

Now take these.

The memory,

The pain,

Everything we used to be,

Don't let it go down the drain.

Don't let it go down the drain
