Woke up to a brand new skyline
We licked our wounds and mourned the dead
Swallowed their story, hook and sinker
Is that what we meant, when we said that we never would forget?
Or are we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their lies?
Because we all watched the buildings fall
Now watch the scales fall from our eyes
A fire burns beneath Manhattan
And still we breathe with broken lungs
But we act like none of this matters
Is that what we meant, when we said that we’d sing what must be sung?
Or are we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their lies?
Because we all watched the buildings fall
Now watch the scales fall from our eyes
We want answers
Screamed from the roofs!
We want justice!
We want the truth!
This is for all the people who lost their lives on 9/11, and for the first-responding firefighters, police officers, everyday heroes, and victim’s families who, after an entire decade, have still not received the real truth of what really happened on that day. My love goes out not only to them, but to the immense amount of lives lost in the wars this event provoked, American soldiers and thousands upon thousands of civilians in the Middle East. They are free from this insane world, and in peace.
