Thunder Rolling Glass Canyons
Liam Ross
The pulse and beat, Rhapsody In Blue
Hopes dreams and ambitions, rising in steel
Struck down in a moment, crushing all hope
Raping a generation, even to Pacific
Salty tear drops, overrunning rivers
Stunned shock and sorrow, mute disbelief
Hate touching regardless, homeless to shaker
Assassinating reason, unleashing terror
Off riveted mountains, last cries of lost souls
Doomed to forever, haunt streets Manhattan
Cut in a moment, hearts wailing hands reaching
Thunder down glass canyons, shattering lives
Summers song hadn’t ended, lives shaken like leaves
That fell out of season, from when until memory
Day burnt in infamy, made the more crimson
For innocence lost, loved ones and children
After monument’s built, disillusioned armies brought home
And canyons draw silent, melancholy pipers have gone
How could this be human, this evil within
Man most brilliant, and cruelest of creatures
