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 saneWe become the enemy
When freedom dies for securityAnd 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 nailedWe become the enemy
When freedom dies for securityWe 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 sameWe become the enemy
When freedom dies for security
We become the enemy
When freedom dies for security
