lyrics

We watched on so passively
As innocents around us died
And we just held our tongues
As they set fire to the sky
Will the future say
We went gently into the night
Or that we bravely raged
Against the dying of the light

Now we cannot pretend
We tried to make a stand
A Nuremberg defense
Why should we even try
When already the knife
Has worked so deep inside

Yeah we all find our way back home
But it may not be the place you think you know
I never feared death
It's the threat of living forever that makes my blood run cold

As week passed after week
We refused to stir from our sleep
As the incessant sound
Of gunfire echoed in the street
And only once it was
Too late to hope for peace
We knew the future would
Remember us for being weak

Now we cannot pretend
We tried to make a stand
A Nuremberg defense
How can we hope to try
When already this knife
Has worked so deep inside

No we cannot pretend
We tried to make a stand
A Nuremberg defense
How can we hope to try
When our hand grips the knife
That's killing us inside
