Sacrificed Sons
Dream Theater
(This has all the appearances
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 grief 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)
(3000 palestinians [?]
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)
Walls are closing
Anxiously
Channel surfing
Frantically
Burning city
Smoke and fire
Planes were certain
Faith inspired
No clues
A complete surprise
Who'll be
Coming home tonight
Heads all turning
Towards the sky
Towers crumble
Heroes die
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
Teach them what to think and feel
Your ways so enlightening
Words they preach I can't relate
If God's true love are acts of hate
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
God on high
Our mistake
Will mankind be extinct
There's no time
Time to waste
Who serves the truth
For heaven's sake
