Day of Infamy

Another day of infamy, a day of tears and fear

Another strike against a land I hold so very dear

The sights and sounds of terror are becoming all too clear 

The insanity is growing, yet we need to persevere

 

Handed to the innocent, this day so full of dread

A sky full of smoke and ash, raining down upon the dead

And the living goes on wondering why this lunacy has spread

And wonder what will come to pass in the days ahead

 

We used to worry about the bomb above our heads

Now we have a new fear of those who are misled

By overzealous bastards which have become figureheads

Who preach to tear our country into tiny, little shreds?

 

The cowards have attacked us and war has been declared

I know we will prevail over these dreadful nightmares

The diversity of this great country has lead us everywhere

From Oklahoma City to New York's towers of despair
