When teams normalize unsustainable work pace

Our engineering team has been putting in 60-hour weeks for eight months and everyone's pretending this is temporary but we all know it's not and no one wants to be the first to say they can't keep going. I'm the tech lead and I feel like I should protect my team but I also don't want to let down the company and I'm watching good people burn out.
