Sailors did once hold domain
Ruled us sands, we bits of grain
My love and I, tired of the pain
Ask the devil to make them flee

We gave our souls to rid them of
He promised storms from up above
The devil, myself, and my love
A nightmare trinity

Lonely in the ocean's dark
Thunder roared at lightning spark
Led sailors from their once safe ark 
As Sirens sang to thee

We rested in their sunken ships
Treasures always in our grips
Slept easy on the sailors' lips
Once lived a life of glee 

We lost our shine as tide did rise
Stripped from heaven to our surprise
To land on land in the sunrise
Luck had run dry on me 

We were the sands that washed ashore
Not sure what we're put there for
A dry beach, once an ocean floor
How funny fate can be

Sailors took domain again
Tyranny did once more begin
A battle the devil did not win
Yet our souls were not set free

Collected for an hourglass
Counted every second passed
Wished each drop to be our last
They'd never grant our plea

We flipped and turned inside their hand
Time simplified to understand
Gears turned, released the enslaved sand
'Twas serendipity 

Even still, lie broken hearts
My love and I, sands miles apart
Awoken as the sun departs
Left with no guarantee

But one day when the earth turns blue
Green will go, the world anew
I'll shine so bright to be with you
As we're cast home into the Sea
