Union Jack Songtext

Union Jack Songtext
Off the starboard bow in the heat of the night
We visualize apocalypse in the firefight
The Parliament says it′s necessary
But Birmingham calls your home
The neighborhood, the family
The mind begins to roam
Ocean currents flowing, taking vessels to 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 Court
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 rejoice 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 war to the UK
No moral ground can prepare us to die at Falkland Sound
Both Houses of Parliament were summoned for six o'clock this evening
There will be no placid lying down of the people in submission
Before him, as we have seen alas in other countries. We shall
Defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of
London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an
Entire hostile army, and we would rather see London laid in ruins
And ashes than that it should be aimlessly and abjectly enslaved
Take those ice-cold islands back
Almighty Union Jack
A thousand victories will be behind you
Win, win
This place belongs to all of us
Responsibility lies within each of us
The revenge we seek will not conquer us
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
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
Listen! Listen! Hey!
Listen! Listen! Hey!
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
For forever
We visualize apocalypse in the firefight
The Parliament says it′s necessary
But Birmingham calls your home
The neighborhood, the family
The mind begins to roam
Ocean currents flowing, taking vessels to war
Whether right or wrong, it's a moot point as we hit the shore
