Union Jack

Magic land so far away - was

It worth the voyage in these days?

The lives of soldiers thrown away

In medieval claims to yesterday...

Off the starboard bow

In the heat of the night

We visualize Apocalypse in the fire fight,

The parliament says "it's necessary"

But Birmingham calls you home

The neighborhood, the family, the

Mind begins to ROAM.

Ocean currents flowing

Taking vessels to a war

Whether right or wrong it's a moot point

As we hit the shore

A former king's residence

In the district of the North

The crown of England is risking

All for sovereignty at Stanley Port.

The Mission. The Mission.

Don't Forget The Mission.

But there's no way out

I don't want to stand here and fight anymore

Please - couldn't we find a better way,

I just saw somebody die.

Waving the flag as he fell to the ground -

While the locals rejoiced in liberation.

So take those ice cold islands back -

Almighty Union Jack

A thousand victories will be behind you

In royal fashion the colonies, the land swept up

In the naval destruction out at sea.

No wire to the U.K. - no moral

Ground can prepare us to die at

Falkland Sound.

So take those ice cold islands back

Almighty Union Jack

A thousand victories will be behind you

When will we learn to cease the fire

My friends in modern times - we need a better way.

Because this place belongs to all of us

Responsibility lies within each of us

The revenge we seek will not conquer us...

Listen.

This place belongs to all of us

Responsibility lies within each of us

One earth, one mind can save us

My friends the end is near us.
