Letra en inglés:

[Audios del 9/11] (No traducidos en video por no ser consecutivos)
"This has all the appearances of an extraordinarily well-coordinated and devastating terrorist attack."

"Terrorism against our nation will not stand. The government will hunt down those responsible."

"Terrorism means striking terror in the hearts of people; that has been accomplished."

"...looking in awe, amazement, shock, and grief and anger at what they were seeing in front of them."

"There has just been a huge explosion. You can see, uh, a billowing smoke rising, there was a cascade of sparks and fire and we see this extraordinarily big, frightening scene behind us."

"There is panic on the streets. There are people screaming and running."

"Good Lord. There are no words."

"...3000 Palestinians [ininteligible], chanting 'God is good.'"

"This is just a horrific scene and a horrific moment, but just look at that. That is about as frightening a scene as you will ever see."

"But there are times in your life that are life changing, where your life can never be the same and this appears certainly to be one of them."

Walls are closing
anxiously,
channel surfing
frantically.

Burning city,
smoke and fire.
Planes, we're certain
faith inspired.

No clues,
a complete surprise.
Who'll be
coming home tonight?

Heads all turning
towards the sky.
Towers crumble,
heroes die.

Who would wish this on our people,
and proclaim that his will be done?
Scriptures they heed have misled them.
All praise their sacrificed sons,
all praise their sacrificed sons.

Teach them what to
think and feel,
your ways
so enlightening.

Words they preach
I can't relate,
if God's true love
are acts of hate.

Who would wish this on our people,
and proclaim that his will be done?
Scriptures they heed have misled them.
All praise their sacrificed sons,
all praise their sacrificed sons.

God on high
our mistake.
Will mankind be extinct?
There's no time,
time to waste.
Who serves the truth
for heaven's sake?
