9 1 1 & the Fallen

911& the FaLLen Lyrics

Verse 1

The twin towers and then the pentagon
Confusion hysteria four hijacked airplanes
Almost three thousand people killed
Others trapped helpless the air insane

We never had it that bad
Couldn't close our eyes or wish it away
Smoke metal fire flesh stench n' pain
History n' humanity betrayed

PreChorus 1

Darkness in the middle of the day
Anger in the streets
Where is the relief?

(Exploding sounds!)

Chorus 1

We should never forget
Lives lost families burning
Let's remember the fallen
Let's remember 911 and the fall
911 and the fallen
The fallen
911

Verse 2

Pale panic as the day turned black
Millions broken watching their screens
Trying to make sense of the mess
Preying for loved and their dreams

All the while cops n' firefighters
Trusted their instincts (Put) their life on the line
Why do we always forget?
They're heroes they do this all the time

PreChorus 2

Darkness in the middle of the day
Anger in the streets
Where is the relief?

(Exploding sounds!)

Chorus 2

We should never forget
Lives lost families burning
Let's remember the fallen
Let's remember 911 and the fall
911 and the fallen
The fallen
911

Bridge

Ten years later
We're still suspicious of our neighbor
It's not easier
It's not safer
And the heaviness is greater

Chorus 3

We should never forget
Lives lost families burning
Let's remember the fallen
Let's remember 911 and the fall
911 and the fallen
The fallen
911
