Buying Peace

Because we do not say what we ought to say It's slipping out of our hands, life is going astray Afraid to speak our mind, the truth bitter and harsh We have found peace that compromises with the curse. Because we do not act the way we ought to act We have got a peace that keeps devils intact Afraid to raise our voice against the evil's might We bargain for a peace that perpetuates our plight. Because we do not dare the way we ought to dare Light is snuffed out, we live in nightmare Afraid to battle out the monsters that loom We settle for a peace that leads us to doom.
