As the last of the living die
Important now, than ever, to remember their story
To head their warning.
When tomorrow veers its head
And we mistake a put down
To a popularised form of politic
Let’s not forget their warning.
Let’s not forget mankind’s ability
To watch idly by - even contribute -
To what the victors later call atrocities
Only when they see victory
So let’s not let victory be the hand
That shows today’s atrocities.
Don’t be idle.
See, speak, hear - let evil wash over you
So that you see it for what it’s worth.
Head the warnings of the last of the living
Before they die.

As the last of the living die
Important now, than ever, to remember their story
To head their warning.
When tomorrow veers its head
And we mistake a put down
To a popularised form of politic
Let’s not forget their warning.
Let’s not forget mankind’s ability
To watch idly by - even contribute -
To what the victors later call atrocities
Only when they see victory
So let’s not let victory be the hand
That shows today’s atrocities.
Don’t be idle.
See, speak, hear - let evil wash over you
So that you see it for what it’s worth.
Head the warnings of the last of the living
Before they die.
