Sacrificed Sons Lyrics
[Samples from TV News on 01/09/11]
[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]
[Verse 3]
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
[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 Heavens' sake?
[Instrumental Outro]
