“Complacency”

One day
we will pay

The price of freedom
the price of love

For we see them not
till they are gone

Like shadows we sought
to hold them to long

When bells ring
and people sing

The night will come
to blacken the sun

While cadence of war
makes the world so poor

Our reasons are wrong
like an evening dawn

Now we look
at what we took

Seeing the cost
we mourn the lost
