Union Jack Lyrics - Magellan

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.
