Sacrificed Sons

Lyrics

[Samples from TV News on 9/11] "This has all the airs of an extraordinarily well-coordinated and devastating terrorist attack." "Terrorism against our nation will not stand. The government will hunt down those responsible." "Terrorism means striking terror into the hearts of people; that has been accomplished." "...looking in awe, amazement, shock, and anger at what they were seeing in front of them." "There has just been a huge explosion. You can see, uh, a billowing smoke rising, there was a cascade of sparks and fire, and we see this extraordinarily big, frightening scene behind us." "There is panic on the streets. There are people screaming and running." "Good Lord... there are no words." "...three thousand Palestinians are in the city of Nablus, chanting 'God is good.'" "This is just a horrific scene and a horrific moment, but just look at that. That is about as frightening a scene as you will ever see." "But there are times in your life that are life changing, where your life can never be the same, and this appears, certainly, to be one of them." [Verse 1] Walls are closing anxiously Channel surfing frantically Burning city, smoke and fire Planes we're certain, faith inspired [Pre-Chorus] No clues, a complete surprise Who'll be coming home tonight? [Verse 2] Heads all turning towards the sky Towers crumble, heroes die [Chorus] Who would wish this on our people And proclaim that His will be done? Scriptures they heed have misled them All praise their sacrificed sons All praise their sacrificed sons [Instrumental Break] [Keyboard Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Teach them what to think and feel Your way's so enlightening Words they preach I can't relate If God's true love are acts of hate [Chorus] Who would wish this on our people And proclaim that His will be done? Scriptures they heed have misled them All praise their sacrificed sons All praise their sacrificed sons [Outro] God on high, our mistakes Will mankind be extinct? There's no time, time to waste Who serves the truth for Heaven's sake? [Instrumental Outro]
