We watched the bombs fall from afar
Safe in the homes we love
As people that we called our friends
Became the victims of
A cruel and unjust war
In which so many had to die
People who just wanted peace
The same as you and I

They stood their ground
They showed no fear
We watched so many fall
All in the name of freedom
All for one and one for all

So many lost
And all in vain
A blitzkrieg full of fire and rain
Young and old
We let them die
And now so many left to cry

It’s a tale as old as time
That when you let evil win
The evil just grows stronger
Till one day it pulls you in

We’ve stood before this bridge before
We made a vow of never more
We did not learn the lesson then
Now we must face it once again

When you let evil have its way
And plan to fight another day
You simply let the evil
get much stronger
Till one day it is at your door
You find again just like before
You can’t avoid the evil any longer

It’s such a simple lesson
When it comes to bold aggression
That to let it flourish is to ask for more
For when you feed the fire
The flames will just grow higher
Till one day
they are burning down your door

We call ourselves home of the brave
But that is not how we behave
We let them smite democracy
People just like you and me
We wonder if we’ve done enough
And what will be their fate
This much we know for certain
No one can ever conquer hate
