Lest We Forget

Ever since the days we were living in the caves
Some assumed leadership and other became slaves
Brother against brother, Cain and Abel were both wrong
At each other since the dawn of civilization

We ran out of the darkness like dirty human haunts
Into blazing enlightenment they call the Renaissance
Dividing of the classes, breeding ignorance and hate
Remember what you get when you amalgamate church and state
Lest we forget
Lest we forget

Time waits for no-one, it's forever moving on
Colonial development, employment of the gun
Kings and queens and presidents and power-shifting schemes
Ending in a blaze of bombs and artillery
Lest we forget
Lest we forget

Here we're living now in what they call a modern world
Documents are signed and the banners are unfurled
A funny little people on a spinning little ball
The higher up the ladder now,
the further down you must fall
Lest we forget
Lest we forget

Lest we forget
Lest we forget
Well, don't you ever forget
Well, don't you ever forget
So don't you ever forget
So don't you ever forget
