Intro:
Shane Speaks:
Once upon a time
Before the lakes and
rivers were polluted
Before the animals were
poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed
the earth's atmosphere
There was a great ship
This vessel was to
venture into new waters
To find new resources to make
life easier and more enjoyable
It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness, health, and possible death
As time passed by there was
no new land to be found
As the days grew shorter
And the nights grew
longer and colder
The crew became more and more
skeptical about the captain's vision
Originally passionate and
committed true and faithful
They now began to revolt
Verse 1:
Sing:
You crossed the line
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to
stand for something
And everyone should
take the lead
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail
Refrain 1:
Shane Speaks:
As the mutiny started and the
captain was overthrown and
chained He asked them why
their minds had changed
There's no gold to be found
no treasure in the ground
We won't die for this
We won't die for you
Verse 2:
Sing:
You've lost your minds
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to
stand for something
And even if they disagree
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail
Interlude: E--F#--G#m- x2
Refrain 2:
Shane Speaks:
This dream is now
A shipwreck in the sand
They gave up they
made all their demands
The storm consumed
fifty seven souls
Who died in vain
his love they stole
Chorus 1:
This union a battle
fought and lost
This union is not
about the cause
This union was
never about love
This union This union
(Repeat)
Chorus 2:
This union a battle
fought and lost
This union is not
about the cause
This union was
(hold)
never about love
