Sacrificed Sons Lyrics - Octavarium - Dream Theater

[Audio samples from 9/11] 

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 in 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 [unintelligible], 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Burning City 

Smoke and fire 

Planes we're certain 

Faith inspired 

No clues 

A complete suprise 

Who'll be 

Coming home tonight 

Heads all turning 

Towards the sky 

Towers crumble 

Heroes die 

Who would wish this on 

On our people 

And proclaim 

That His will be done 

Scriptures they heed have misled them 

All praise their Sacrifice Sons 

Photos 

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 

God on High 

Our mistakes 

Will mankind be extinct? 

There's no time to waste 

Who serves the truth 

For Heavens' sake
