Seeds of Complacency (Rapido) (Remastered x2)

electronic reggae fusion, dubstep-influenced electronic dancehall, reggae-inspired dance-pop

[Chorus]
You reap what you sow, it’s coming sure and slow,
The seeds of our complacency on cold west winds now blow.
Idle talk and drifted plans, our faith eroded, rust,
Call us to the mirror now, to face what’s grown in us.
Wales, awake now, lift your eyes to what is real,
The hour of reckoning is here, the truth is at our heels.

[Verse 2]
No longer can we point away to distant seats of power,
When home-grown small ambitions choke the promise of this hour.
The old red walls are thinning where the Senedd banners fly,
A narrow rule now trembles ‘neath a far more watchful eye.
We’ll listen with a miner’s care to every word and deed,
Each promise weighed in daily lives, in work and wage and need.

[Bridge]
No more drifting, no more softly spoken vows that fade,
The valleys and the cities rise demanding what was made.
On strength within our labour, on our high streets beating strong,
On schools that lift our children up, on voices given song.
If they stumble, if they squander what this moment holds in hand,
The burden of their choices falls on every hill and strand.

[Verse 3]
Yet hope walks every terraced road, in every coastal town,
In choirs that hold a quiet flame that no one’s beaten down.
From Caerphilly the Gower, from Llanberis to Severn’s side,
Untapped power waits in people who still carry hiraeth’s pride.
Turn inward with a steel-clad will, with courage to be bold,
The road to better futures stands for hearts that won’t be sold.

[Final Chorus]
You reap what you sow, let that truth light up our way,
From tired, internal quarrels to a fairer, brighter day.
Wales, awaken, hold this moment in your hand and stand,
Call greatness from your leaders for our future, for our land.
In the years ahead the world will see if we rise or fall—
The choice is ours, the time is now, we answer freedom’s call.

[Outro]
To the people of this country, hear this promise that we make:
Face the truth in Welsh-born voices, and rise for come-ree's sake.

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Look not across the border for the foe we like to blame, The deepest troubles holding us are rooted in our name. Long years of timid choices, little courage in our hand, Have led us to this turning in a proud and battered land. The dragon turns to face itself, with steady, honest view, For history here in come-ree marks the deeds we dare to do. [Chorus] You reap what you sow, it’s coming sure and slow, The seeds of our complacency on cold west winds now blow. Idle talk and drifted plans, our faith eroded, rust, Call us to the mirror now, to face what’s grown in us. Wales, awake now, lift your eyes to what is real, The hour of reckoning is here, the truth is at our heels. [Verse 2] No longer can we point away to distant seats of power, When home-grown small ambitions choke the promise of this hour. The old red walls are thinning where the Senedd banners fly, A narrow rule now trembles ‘neath a far more watchful eye. We’ll listen with a miner’s care to every word and deed, Each promise weighed in daily lives, in work and wage and need. [Bridge] No more drifting, no more softly spoken vows that fade, The valleys and the cities rise demanding what was made. On strength within our labour, on our high streets beating strong, On schools that lift our children up, on voices given song. If they stumble, if they squander what this moment holds in hand, The burden of their choices falls on every hill and strand. [Verse 3] Yet hope walks every terraced road, in every coastal town, In choirs that hold a quiet flame that no one’s beaten down.
