FREEDOM NEVER DIES

September eleventh two thousand one

The whole world got to see

The towering twins of New York State

Fall so helplessly




They both were struck, by suicide jets

On a mission to destroy

The spirit of America

And freedoms we enjoy




Then a third jet struck our Pentagon

While a fourth jet couldn't go

Beyond the Pennsylvania trees

Cause of heroes, we now know




So with vengeance left to be the Lord's

One thing still applies

Freedom just might cost your life

But freedom never dies

 

DEAR TERRORIST
(Your Poetic Fate)

It's not about religion

It's not about race

It's not about how you grew up

Or the color of your face




It's all about protection

Of freedoms in our land

And everyone who'd die for them

So please, please understand




Our goal is to destroy you

And all who choose to be.

A terrorist just can't exist

That's how it's got to be


We owe it to our fallen

So there's no turning back

Till terrorism's been destroyed

It's our turn to attack
