The Castle of Sand, Lyrics

This is what some will say 
You’ve crossed the line. Time out 
You’re rejected from the game  
You’re not coming back. So go hit the showers
Once cherished, baptized, and sublime 
Asinine. Never enough iodine. Guilty 
Now crowned in your sins  
Stoned concubine. The shamed bovine  

 I built a castle by the sea
With towers tall and proud as me
The moat was deep, the gate was wide
And seashell flags stood side by side

But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone, returned to sand

You’re sweaty. You're filthy  
You crossed the line. Go hit the showers 
Submerged from the weight of the world  
Drunk on the blood of the wine  
End of the game.  It's not even halftime 
The filthy crime. The shamed headline  
Once cherished, There's no room available  
The game is over. You’re out. You've crossed the line   

 I built a castle by the sea
With towers tall and proud as me
The moat was deep, the gate was wide
And seashell flags stood side by side

But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone, returned to sand

Not worth a dime. Stole from the altar's wine
Combine, the fowl and swine wine and dine
Frankenstein shrine. You're out. Go resign 
You’ve crossed the line. You’ve crossed the line 
This is what some will say

I built a castle by the sea
With towers tall and proud as me
The moat was deep, the gate was wide
And seashell flags stood side by side

But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone, returned to sand

Yet still I smiled, and made a vow
I’ll build another, better now
For dreams, like castles by the sea
May fall but rise again with me

But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone
returned to sand

Yet still I smiled, and made a vow
I’ll build another, better now
For dreams, like castles by the sea
They crumbles now, but wait and see 
I'll build again more faithfully

Oooooohhhhooooohh
I'll build again more faithfully
