7. Sacrificed Sons (10:43)
[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 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
God on High
Our mistakes
Will mankind be extinct?
There's no time to waste
Who serves the truth
For Heavens' sake
[Begins with samples from 9/11]

Coming home tonight

On our people
And proclaim
That His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their Sacrificed Sons
Teach them

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
