Magellan Union Jack Lyrics

Union Jack Lyrics

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.
