Regret to Forget

The pain of our ignorance is our remembrance of it.

Regret to forget,
ye nations, have some remorse -
remember thy selves!

For thou art one act -
one beginning, one ending;
one spirit, one soul.

Though many,
thou art one.

Some forget on purpose

And because some forget on purpose
many became purposeless

And because many became purposeless
the nations became restless

And because the nations became restless
peace became powerless

And because peace became powerless
war came (to the province of Man)

And because war came
soldiers became.

- selah -

...because war came,
for Peace was ever here first
long before War was from heaven
thrown down.

...because war came, Starshine,
so don't you forget...

Lest we forget.

This we will defend.
