When Freedom Dies

United in a time, a time of need Against a common foe, the enemy The years of death endured, the years of pain Against an evil force, a force not sane We become the enemy When freedom dies for security And then the world endured, a victory won Against an insane man and his cohorts But once the war was done, blind fear prevailed And years of darkness came, freedom was nailed We become the enemy When freedom dies for security We let our freedom die, we let it wane We feared an enemy's atomic rain But what was on our minds, what we became We and the enemy We are the same We become the enemy When freedom dies for security We become the enemy When freedom dies for security
