Magellan - 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.
