Dear Derelict - Ferns

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

Dear Derelict
You'll find your stride

Across the ocean tide
Dear Derelict

We'll bide our time

Then fly

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

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

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
