Sacrificed Sons lyrics
by Dream Theater



(This has all the...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 pillar of smoke rising...there was a cascade of sparks and fire...and we see this extraordinarily and 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...the madness, 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 our lives 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 we're 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
