Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle - Attalus

We were free

We were brave

We thought providence our slave

Til the sea rose to fight

Sent us hurling to our grave

We cried out as we drowned

But our voices made no sound in the waves

Not a truce nor a bribe could help us in that tide

All our faith

All our pride

All our strength was cast aside

We were lost to the sea

Sunk and buried underneath

But I I survived

And it came without a warning came without a warning

Swept upon us in the morning upon us in the morning

In the middle of our laughter when all was well

That unspeakable disaster fell

We were kings

We were kin

Fought as brothers til the end

We were drunk

We were hazed

We threw caution to the wind

We were gods so we thought

But we learned who we were then

Only men

Only men

So pay attention to the warning

So pay attention to the warning

If you want to see the morning

If you want to see the morning

In the middle of our laughter when all was well

That unspeakable disaster crashed into our anchor

Sent us falling to our maker

So heed the words of one who lived to tell the tale

Learn a lesson from the men who fell

And I don't know why I survived

I too deserved to die

But providence has turned his eye

And grace has chosen me to stay

To live another day

To give this heart a word to write

Of peace

That reached through the debris of that wreckage I call me

And brought me safely through the night

Of love

Stronger than the flood

That fills my heart like blood

And keeps me anchored to the light

So listen to what I have found

When my world ran aground

Grace was still a greater tide

And all that I have left to say to those

Who've lost their way grace can even save your shipwrecked life

So listen to what I have found

When my world ran aground

Grace was still a greater tide

And all that I have left to say to those

Who've lost their way grace can even save your shipwrecked life
