We Will Not Stand Down

A threat around the corner?
The sense of insecurity
Everyone is a suspect

We will not stand down

The growing paranoia
That keeps us on a constant edge
Always look over your shoulder

We can not stand down
We will not stand down

The bestial acts of hatred
The escalating lunacy
Where will it happen next time?

We can not stand down
We will not stand down

The meaningless aggression
Shaking our foundations
We’re treading on a minefield

But we can not stand down
We will not stand down

No simple solution
Somehow we have to make it work
Or fear might just consume us
