A track written out of anger really, although being angry never really helps.
The lyrics are written by Richard Pierce after one of our infrequent coffee meetings where we put the world to rights, then go away, back to our creative spaces hoping that in someway what we do makes a difference. Laughable really but still...

Lyrics
we were
the silent majority
with our safe spaces
and our peace beliefs
never in a rush to say anything
too shy to stand up and shout
we know shouting never
saved the world
Chorus
do we have the courage to speak out
against the human rights deniers
against the anti-immigration thugs
against the violent mobs
since when is love a sentence of death
tolerance a curse
since when is good an evil,
and evil a medal's worth
to come down
on one side of the divide
stake your life on being peaceful
but from hate we cannot hide
and they'll say you'll reap
what you have sown
your words your death warrant
your beliefs your downfall
