The Twins by Stu Leventhal

Thousands dead and hundreds more missing

A sky line altered when the twins came down

They stood so tall they stood so sturdy

They fell so gracefully to the ground.

A senseless act designed to frighten

In the days to follow made the world unite

They shocked the world but the world won’t cower

It’s time they feel our power

Eye’s wide open we’re now ready to fight

For peace and justice it’s time to set things right. 

For years tourists traveled from around the globe

To gaze with wonder at the worlds two tallest buildings

Only man’s imagination could erect

To a city so great, so powerful, famous for fun and full of dreams and hope

The devil showed up, looking for a little respect.

Our modern day ode to the great pyramids of old

The Twins story is destined to be told and told.

Two monuments stood symbolizing man is capable of anything

But the devil was there to remind us, evil’s always around

“Yang and ying, ying and yang” The devil sang.

“What goes up must eventually come down.”

Lord give me the strength to show a little restraint

I used to think I was a holy God fearing man but now I know I ain’t.

Lord forgive me because I can’t love no more, until we settle the score

All I can think of is revenge and hate

Lord we need you now more than ever

Help us Lord if it’s not too late.

Thousands dead and hundreds missing

A sky line altered when the twins came down

They stood so tall they stood so sturdy

They fell so gracefully to the ground.

An eye for an eye, we’re ready to die

So sign us up, we’re ready to fight

An eye for an eye, we’re ready to die

Cause we won’t cry, until things are set right.

September eleven, over three thousand innocent people entered heaven

September eleven, our nation’s innocence was stolen from us that morning

September eleven, the United States issues the world a strong warning.

Someone needs to be taught a lesson and this time we’re not asking for anyone’s blessing

Stay out of our way

For years they stood stretching towards the heavens

Proud haughty and slightly naughty. The world’s tallest buildings,

Symbols of man’s greatest achievement through out the ages

Now will go down in histories darkest pages

As proof that evil does exist

It’s that cowardly evil that fuels our rages

At that cowardly evil we shake our fists

Thousands dead and hundreds more missing

A sky line altered when the twins came down

They stood so tall they stood so sturdy

They fell so gracefully to the ground

A senseless act designed to frighten

In the days to follow made the world unite

They shocked the world but the world won’t cower

Eyes wide open, feel our power

For peace and justice, we’re now ready to fight

It’s time to set things right.
