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