Sacrificed Sons Lyrics

Artist: Dream Theater
Album: Octavarium

Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: James LaBrie

[begins with samples from 9/11]

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 Sacrifice Sons
All praise their Sacrifice 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 Sacrifice Sons
All praise their Sacrifice Sons

God on High
Our mistakes
Will mankind be extinct?
There's no time to waste
Who serves the truth
For Heavens' sake

Dream Theater rules. Not only for their musical talent, but for their true lyrics. I've been to five of their shows, AWESOME. Twenty years of keeping up with them and they still keep putting out. Every album is awesome. Truly my favorite band of all time.
