In the Shadow of the Union

I am the homeless, I'm the faithless one
I got no passport, just on my own
From camp to camp, from town to town
Here in the shadow of the union

I'll cross your borders when you are asleep
I'll weigh the rivers you think are too deep
I'll climb the mountains you said were too steep
And I'll be right there among you
Waitin' in the shadows of the union

And I fear no evil 'cause he is ridin' with me
And he joined me when I screamed and cursed your God
And now my hands start twitchin' if I should try to fold 'em
While waitin' in the shadow of the union
We are waitin' in the shadow of the union
I'm the days to come, I am not the past
I'm the last who shall be the first, you're the first who'll be the last
And you cannot hide, so you better turn around fast
See me waitin' in the shadows of the union
I'm twitchin' in the shadows of the union

And I fear no evil 'cause he is ridin' with me
And he joined me when they burned down our home
So you can build your fest on Europa, make the walls go into Heaven
I'm still waitin' in the shadow of the union

And I fear no evil 'cause he sometimes used my face
To do the things you hate me for, things you blame me in the first place
I'm just waitin' in the shadow of the union
Waitin' in the shadow of the union
