Nine Eleven Songtext

von Carpetbagger

Late summer day
Here in the city of the free
People on their way to work
In the land of liberty
Children back at school
After the summer holiday
Ten million individuals
Living here in peace

Fireball
Flaming debris and broken glass
The ground shakes from the impact
As we all watch quite aghast
The airplane explode
Upon collision in mid-air

A hundred airborne passengers
Perish in the blaze
While terrified spectators
Stare on through the haze

I watched them waving
From the upper floors
I saw them clinging on for their lives
I watched the rescue workers
Rush indoors
Brothers and sisters, husbands wives

To the ones
Who carried out this sinful plan
For murdering the innocent
Your soul's forever damned
In the name of vengeance
You ignored God's first command

It's a tragic commentary
On the desperate state of things
When suicide maniacs
Will kill to get their wings

I watched them jumping
From the upper floors
I saw them falling
One by one
I watched the rescue workers
Crushed under floors
Brothers and sisters every one

I watched it all on my television
I watched it all on CNN.
