It didn't used to be like this

Constant threat and alarm

The exhaustion that followed

As we averted our eyes

And made believe we knew nothing

Nothing about him

The plans he inspired

Our the desire to be free for him

Long forgotten in many

But we know the truth now

Even though enlightenment stings

It's what you do with knowledge

Many of us no longer fight

But our motto lives

Fight until forced to die

But never quit before then

Because as we all fall by one

Every one of us know it

In the end, we only regret chances

When we don't take them

When we fail to even see them
