"we were all asleep in the anaesthetic of the lies that are generations old"

complicit
we now search the floor for the pieces of our soul
the parts that blew apart when we
saw
heard
then knew
the truth of our circumstance
and the course we were on
and we still said yes

"we were all asleep in the anaesthetic of the lies that are generations old"

complicit
we sang the patriot’s hymn
danced with the war machine
followed our orders
lived
nearly died
and saved our brethren
anesthetized to the horror
they knew we would live

"we were all asleep in the anaesthetic of the lies that are generations old"

complicit
no longer
we are now awake to the lies
and drama
not of our making
no longer game pieces
in global board games
faceless men play with
innocent lives

"we were all asleep in the anaesthetic of the lies that are generations old"

complicit
in truth
the reality of our now
we choose life
restoring our heart
to work in the harvest
our generation makes this stand
one life to make His mark
on a century of souls
