Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Onc[G]e u[D]pon a time,[Em]
before the lakes [G]and rivers were polluted
[C]Before [Am]the animals
[G]were poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed the
earth's atmosphere
There was a great [Em]ship
This vessel was to venture
[Am]into [Em]new waters
To find new resources to make life
easier and more [Dm]enjoyable
[D]It was a simple mission for the [Dm]crew,
who were excited to be a part of this union
[Am]They pledged their allegiance to the captain
and vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness, health, and possible [Em]death
As time passed by,
there was no new land to be found
As the days grew [D]shorter
[Dm]And the nights grew longer and colder
[D]The crew became more [Dm]an d more
skeptical about the captain's vision
Origin[Am]ally passionate and committed to being true and faithful,
they now began to revolt

[Verse 2]
[Am]You [Em]crossed the line
I was honest and never
promised [C]anything[D]
[C]Just a brotherhood to stand
for [D]something[Am]
And everyone should take the lead
Follow your [C]dreams
[D]If [C]you don't [D]try [C]you fai[D]l
[Em]And

[Verse 3]
we started
And the captain went over
[G][Em][Am][C]
He asked them why
Their lives had [Am]changed[C]
[G]There's no gold to [Am]be found
No treasure in the ground
[C]We won't die for this
We won't die [Am]for you
You've [Em]lost

[Verse 4]
your mind
I was honest and never promised [C]anything[D]
Just [C]a brotherhood to stand
for [D]something[Am]
And even if they disagree
Follow your [Em]dreams
[D]If [Em]you don't try,

[Interlude 1]
you fail
[Em][C][D][Em]
[C][D][Em]
[C]

[Verse 5]
His dream is [C]now[D]
A shipwreck in the [Em]sand
They gave up
Then made all their demand[C]s
The storm [D]consumed
[Em]57 souls
Died in vain
His love they stole
[C]

[Verse 6]
This [D]union, a battle fought and [Em]lost
This union was not [Am]about [C]the cause
This [D]union was never about [Em]love
This union, this union
[C]

[Verse 7]
This [D]union, a battle fought and [Em]lost
This union was not about the [C]cause
This [D]union was never about [Em]love[C]
This union, this union

[Verse 8]
This [C]union, [D]a battle fought and los[Em]t
This union was not about the [Am]cause[C]
This [D]union was never about [Am]love
